24 If Cain is avenged sevenfold, then Lamech seventy-sevenfold.”

25 And Adam again had relations with his wife, and she gave birth to a son and named him Seth, saying, “God has granted me another seed in place of Abel, since Cain killed him.”

And to Seth also a son was born, and he called him Enosh. At that time men began to call upon the name of the LORD.
