Aliya Summary: The sixth generation descendant of Cain was Lemech,
who fathered several children -- seventh generation descendants of Cain.
This
Aliya contains the story of Lemech, the great-great-great-grandson of
Kayin and his accidental killer, Lemech's two wives Ada and Tzila. The
Torah mentions more descendants of Kayin and their roles as the "firsts"
in various fields of human activity. This portion also contains
Lemech's lament for having killed Kayin.
