MEDITATION

Genesis 4:23-26

23 Then Lamech said to his wives: “Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; Wives of Lamech, listen to my speech! For I have killed a man for wounding me,
Even a young man for hurting me.
24 If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, Then Lamech seventy-sevenfold.
25 And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son and named him Seth, “For God has appointed another seed for me instead of Abel, whom Cain killed.”
26 And as for Seth, to him also a son was born; and he named him Enosh. Then men began to call on the name of the LORD.

沉思

《创世记 4：23-26》
23拉麦对他两个妻子说：“亚大、洗拉，听我的声音，拉麦的妻子，细听我的话语：壮年人伤我，我把他杀了；少年人损我，我把他害了。
24若杀该隐遭报七倍，杀拉麦必遭报七十七倍。”
25亚当又与妻子同房，她就生了一个儿子，起名叫塞特，意思说：“神另给我立了一个儿子代替亚伯，因为该隐杀了他。”

26塞特也生了一个儿子，起名叫以挪士。那时候，人才求告耶和华的名。
