Lamech begets a son
Read the full text in our reader
Καὶ ἔζησεν Λάμεχ ἑκατὸν ὀγδοήκοντα ὀκτὼ ἔτη, καὶ ἐγέννησεν υἱόν.
The ninth patriarch, and the last before Noah. For the first time since v.2, the son is not immediately named — the text withholds his name across the verse break, giving it its own weight in v.29, together with the words Lamech is reported as speaking over him.
