AND it was in the hundred and thirtieth year of the life of A'dam upon the earth, that he again knew Chuah his woman, and she conceived and bore a son in his likeness and in his image, and she called his name Sheth, saying, Because Elohiym has appointed me another seed in the place of H'avel, for Qayin has slain him.
And Sheth lived one hundred and five years, and he begat a son; and Sheth called the name of his son Enosh, saying, Because in that time the sons of men began to multiply, and to afflict their souls and hearts by transgressing and rebelling against Elohiym.
And it was in the days of Enosh that the sons of men continued to rebel and transgress against Elohiym, to increase the anger of Yahuah against the sons of men.
And the sons of men went and they served other elohiym, and they forgot Yahuah who had created them in the earth: and in those days the sons of men made images of brass and iron, wood and stone, and they bowed down and served them.
And every man made his elohiym and they bowed down to them, and the sons of men forsook Yahuah all the days of Enosh and his children; and the anger of Yahuah was kindled on account of their works and abominations which they did in the earth.
And Yahuah caused the waters of the river Giychon to overwhelm them, and he destroyed and consumed them, and he destroyed the third part of the earth, and notwithstanding this, the sons of men did not turn from their evil ways, and their hands were yet extended to do evil in the sight of Yahuah.
And in those days there was neither sowing nor reaping in the earth; and there was no food for the sons of men and the famine was very great in those days.
And the seed which they sowed in those days in the ground became thorns, thistles and briers; for from the days of A'dam was this declaration concerning the earth, of the curse of Elohiym, which he cursed the earth, on account of the sin which A'dam sinned before Yahuah.
And it was when men continued to rebel and transgress against Elohiym, and to corrupt their ways, that the earth also became corrupt.
And Enosh lived ninety years and he begat Qeynan;
And Qeynan grew up and he was forty years old, and he became wise and had knowledge and skill in all wisdom, and he reigned over all the sons of men, and he led the sons of men to wisdom and knowledge; for Qeynan was a very wise man and had understanding in all wisdom, and with his wisdom he ruled over ruachoth and devils;
And Qeynan knew by his wisdom that Elohiym would destroy the sons of men for having sinned upon earth, and that Yahuah would in the latter days bring upon them the waters of the flood.
And in those days Qeynan wrote upon tablets of stone, what was to take place in time to come, and he put them in his treasures.
And Qeynan reigned over the whole earth, and he turned some of the sons of men to the service of Elohiym.
And when Qeynan was seventy years old, he begat three sons and two daughters.
And these are the names of the children of Qeynan; the name of the firstborn Mahalal'el, the second Eynan, and the third Mered, and their sisters were Adah and Tsillah; these are the five children of Qeynan that were born to him.
And Lemek, the son of Methusha'el, became related to Qeynan by marriage, and he took his two daughters for his women, and Adah conceived and bore a son to Lemek, and she called his name Yaval.
And she again conceived and bore a son, and called his name Yuval; and Tsillah, her sister, was barren in those days and had no offspring.
For in those days the sons of men began to transgress against Elohiym, and to transgress the commandments which he had commanded to A'dam, to be fruitful and multiply in the earth.
And some of the sons of men caused their women to drink a draught that would render them barren, in order that they might retain their figures and whereby their beautiful appearance might not fade.
And when the sons of men caused some of their women to drink, Tsillah drank with them.
And the child bearing women appeared abominable in the sight of their men as widows, while their men lived, for to the barren ones only they were attached.
And in the end of days and years, when Tsillah became old, Yahuah opened her womb.
And she conceived and bore a son and she called his name Tubal Qayin, saying, After I had withered away have I obtained him from El Shaddai Elohiym.
And she conceived again and bore a daughter, and she called her name Na`amah, for she said, After I had withered away have I obtained pleasure and delight.
And Lemek was old and advanced in years, and his eyes were dim that he could not see, and Tubal Qayin, his son, was leading him and it was one day that Lemek went into the field and Tubal Qayin his son was with him, and while they were walking in the field, Qayin the son of A'dam advanced towards them; for Lemek was very old and could not see much, and Tubal Qayin his son was very young.
And Tubal Qayin told his father to draw his bow, and with the arrows he smote Qayin, who was yet far off, and he slew him, for he appeared to them to be an animal.
And the arrows entered Qayin's body although he was distant from them, and he fell to the ground and died.
And Yahuah requited Qayin's evil according to his wickedness, which he had done to his brother H'avel, according to the Word of Yahuah which he had spoken.
And it came to pass when Qayin had died, that Lemek and Tubal Qayin went to see the animal which they had slain, and they saw, and behold Qayin their grandfather was fallen dead upon the earth.
And Lemek was very much grieved at having done this, and in clapping his hands together he struck his son and caused his death.
And the women of Lemek heard what Lemek had done, and they sought to kill him.
And the women of Lemek hated him from that day, because he slew Qayin and Tubal Qayin, and the women of Lemek separated from him, and would not hearken to him in those days.
And Lemek came to his women, and he pressed them to listen to him about this matter.
And he said to his women Adah and Tsillah, Hear my voice O women of Lemek, attend to my words, for now you have imagined and said that I slew a man with my wounds, and a child with my stripes for their having done no violence, but surely know that I am old and grayheaded, and that my eyes are heavy through age, and I did this thing unknowingly.
And the women of Lemek listened to him in this matter, and they returned to him with the advice of their father A'dam, but they bore no children to him from that time, knowing that Elohiym's anger was increasing in those days against the sons of men, to destroy them with the waters of the flood for their evil doings.
And Mahalal'el the son of Qeynan lived sixty five years and he begat Yered; and Yered lived sixty two years and he begat Chanok.
