Translation of Genesis 4:17
Cain "knew" his wife, she became pregnant and gave birth to Enoch. He built a city and named the city which he has build (as) Enoch.
He built a city and named the city (as) the name of his son Enoch.
Comment
In my opinion this verse makes impossible interpretation that entities named in the first few chapters of Genesis are cities instead of people.
