Gen 4:17
  Interlinear
[Now follows a genealogy of Cain in seven generations.]
And Cain knew his wife [had sexual intercourse with her], and she conceived.
Yes, she gave birth to Enoch (Hebr. Chanoch) [meaning: consecrated/dedicated] and he [Enoch] became a city builder.
And the city was named after his son: Enoch. [Gen. 5:18; 25:4; 46:9]
Gen 4:18
  Interlinear
To Enoch was born Irad [according to Sumerian tradition, Eridu is the first city],
and Irad begot Mechojael,
and Mechojael begot Metoshael,
and Metoshael begot Lamech [the first polygamist].
[There are two Lamechs in prehistory. The first Lamech, mentioned here, is a descendant of Cain, the brother-killer. This Lamech was the first polygamist and he promised to kill for a wound, see verses 23-24. He is the sixth generation from Cain (seventh generation from Adam and Eve). The second Lamech in Seth's line is the ninth generation from Adam. He is Noah's father and a righteous man, see Gen. 5:25–28.]
