Bible Person
Meaning: an assembly · Female · 3 cross references
This Adah entry refers to the wife of the Cainite Lamech and the mother of Jabal and Jubal, not Esau's wife already separately overridden. She belongs to the early Genesis portrait of cultural development within a morally dark lineage. First appears in Gen 4:19.1
AI summary: This Adah matters because the cross references present her within the household where pastoral life, music, and boastful violence converge in the line of Cain. Through her sons, the narrative associates her with major developments in human culture, while the surrounding family context remains morally troubling. Taken together, the material presents this Adah as a Cainite mother whose household embodies both cultural creativity and spiritual disorder.1
