Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Genesis 4:23
COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD
23, 24. Lamech said unto his wives —This speech is in a poetical form, probably the fragment of an old poem, transmitted to the time of Moses. It seems to indicate that Lamech had slain a man in self-defense, and its drift is to assure his wives, by the preservation of Cain, that an unintentional homicide, as he was, could be in no danger. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-26" class="com-number"
