> Lamech said to his wives,
“Adah and Zillah, listen to me;
wives of Lamech, hear my words.
I have killed a man for wounding me,
a young man for injuring me.
If Cain is avenged seven times,
then Lamech seventy-seven times.”
(Genesis 4:23-24, NIV) What is the significance of Lamech's boast? What role does it play in the Genesis narrative?
