Lamech sin greater than Cain's one?
[[Exegesis:Genesis 4:19|Previous]] [[Exegesis:Genesis 4:??25|Next]]
===Translation of [[Tanakh:Genesis_4:23|Genesis 4:23]]===
Lamech said to his wives Adah and Zillah: Hear my voice, wives of Lamech, hear my saying, because I have killed a man as my wound and a child by my hit.
===Translation of [[TODOTanakh:Genesis_4:24|Genesis 4:24]]===
"My wound and... my hit" can be understood either as that Lamech said killed two people by the wounds he have caused to forgetting him them, or as psychological trauma of the killer (Lamech said to his debt Lamech said to lending him -- congregation/gathering/testimony/advanced/Adah) himself.
