In Genesis 5:12-25, Lamech was a son of Methuselah, who was a grandson of Jared, who was a grandson of Kenan descended from Adam. [ 3 ] Genesis 5:28–31 records that Lamech was 182 [ 4 ] (according to the Masoretic Text ; 188 according to the Septuagint [ 5 ] ) years old at the birth of Noah and lived for another 595 [ 5 ] years, attaining an ...

The Genesis Rabba midrash lists Naamah, the daughter of Lamech and sister of Tubal-Cain, as the wife of Noah, [10] as does the 11th-century Jewish commentator Rashi in his commentary on Genesis 4:22. In the medieval midrash Book of Jasher, the name of Noah's wife is said to be Naamah, daughter of Enoch. [11]
The Sethite line begins with Adam. [1] The Sethite line in Genesis 5 extends to Noah and his three sons. [2]The Cainite line in Genesis 4 runs to Naamah. [citation needed] The seventh generation Lamech descended from Cain is described as the father of Jabal and Jubal (from his first wife Adah) and Tubal-cain and Naamah (from his second wife, Zillah).

(In the Septuagint, most of the ages in this section are different. Lamech begets Noah at age 188, and Methuselah lives 802 years after begetting Lamech. [7])
The Naamah mentioned in the Bible is a Cainite, a descendant in the lineage of Cain (the daughter of Lamech and sister of Tubal-cain).
