The language of ivrit ( עברית ) Genesis 4, DTube Video #8
Welcome to my DTube Hebrew reading & language series.
Today we are continuing in Genesis 4:24-26
Last week, we saw certain peoples were responsible for music, others for iron and metal working, some for tents. Today we see Lemech calling down curses upon himself for killing someone ho had harmed him. He felt that he should have seven times the curses of Cain.
By today's standard as well as that of the Torah, killing in self defense is excusable. It will be interesting if the fate of Lemech every comes up again.
In the opinion of Adam's wife, Seth was appointed to replace Abel. See in the hebrew that the words are similar, Seth is shet and appointed is shat . Seth also seems to have been appointed to take his place on the chart of first born males below.
Seth also had a son and he was called Enosh because at that time people began to call on the name (of) YHVH. By implication, none had called for the creator's attention previously.
Next week we will see how the chart below is exactly Genesis 5 states.
I will leave this chart up while we are in relative verses.
People were living a good 800-1000 years each.

@hebrew,

I wonder why Lamech was worried about a curse if the other person had attacked him. Does that mean the man only potentially slandered him or said things to him, but didn't attack him? And if Lamech is saying that whoever kills him should be cursed 77 times, does that mean he thinks what he did (in killing the man) was 11 worse than what Cain did? Did he think his own punishment should be 77 times as much? This is an interesting verse.
I have also wondered why verse 26 says that people only started calling on the Lord when Enosh was born. It seems to me that would imply that no one else had been. What were Adam, Abel, Cain, Seth doing if not calling on the Lord? It seems strange that Adam would go from walking with God in the garden to not even calling on his name. Also, if the others weren't calling on his name, how did Enosh hear about God and start calling on him? There is a lot we don't know.
It will be fun (for me) to (hopefully) get some of the gaps filled in someday. Maybe there's a heavenly library where we'll be able to go and read/watch what really happened.
