LAMECH
(a) Son of Methusael, of the descendants of Cain. One of his wives gave him Tubal-Cain, who invented instruments of bronze and iron (Gen. 4: 18-24).
Lamech’s speech to his wives can be interpreted in various ways, but most commentators see it as the bravado of a violent man.
(b) Antediluvian patriarch, descendant of Seth through Methuselah, and father of Noah. Lamech feared Jehovah and believed his promises (Gen. 5:25, 28-31).
