By this genealogical account, Adam was still alive for about the first 56 years of Lamech's life. When they discovered who it was, Lamech, in sorrow, clapped his hands together, which (for an unclear reason) kills Tubal-Cain.
He was the father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock. Adah is there interpreted as the deposed one, implying that Lamech spurned her in favour of Zillah, whose own name is understood to mean she shaded herself [from Zillah at Lamech's side]. Tubal-Cain saw in the distance something that he first took for an animal, but it was actually Cain (still alive, due to the extensive life span of the antediluvians) whom Lamech had accidentally killed with an arrow. When Irad (an ancestor of Lamech) learned his secret and began to publicise it, Lamech murdered him.

This presents the possibility that Methuselah knew the man in a way that made naming his son reasonable. In consequence, Lamech's wives desert him. Many of Lamech's ancestors were likely alive and also lived in the vicinity of Enoch.
In the poem, Lamech's stance resembles that of a supreme warrior, able to avenge himself absolutely.
News of the murder was spread by Lamech's two wives, leading to his being cast out of society. The Midrash consequently regards Adah as having been treated as a slave, tyrannised by her husband, who was at the beck and call of his mistress, Zillah. (Genesis 5:25). The poem is then given by Lamech to allay their fears.
Thus, in a sense, Lamech could be interpreted as a culture hero.
He is a sixth-generation descendant of Cain (Genesis 4:18); his father was named Methushael, and he was responsible for the "Song of the Sword". Some scholars have proposed that it is connected to the invention, contextually by Tubal-Cain, of the sword, for which reason the poem is often referred to as the Song of the Sword. Because of the similarities between the two lines, critical scholarship generally regards both Lamechs as one and the same individual. Lamech (Hebrew: לֶמֶךְ) is the name of two men in the genealogies of Adam in the Book of Genesis. Some of the names also appear to demonstrate punning - Jabal, Jubal, and Tubal rhyme, and appear to be derived from the same root - JBL (YVL in modern Hebrew): to bring forth, (also) to carry. Lamech was the son of Methuselah and the father of Noah.
[citation needed], The rabbinical tradition is just as condemning of Naamah. Lamech redirects here. Extending on this classical view of Lamech is the Book of Moses, regarded in Mormonism as scripture. Lamech likely lived near the city of Enoch that his great-great-great grandfather, Cain built.
However, this paucity of context did not stop a rabbinical tradition growing up around it.
The Talmud and Midrash present an extensive legend, told, for example, by Rashi, in which Lamech first loses his sight from age, and had to be led by Tubal-Cain, the seventh generation from Cain. The other Lamech is an eighth generation descendant of Seth.
