It is associated with two distinct individuals in the genealogies of Genesis. The name Lamech does not have a clearly defined meaning in Hebrew, but it is often associated with strength or power due to its context and usage.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Lamech is a significant figure in the genealogical records of Genesis, appearing in two separate lineages. The first Lamech is a descendant of Cain, known for his boastful declaration of vengeance and his polygamous marriage to Adah and Zillah (Genesis 4:19-24). The second Lamech is a descendant of Seth, the father of Noah, and is noted for his prophetic words concerning his son (Genesis 5:28-31). These accounts reflect the early patriarchal society and the development of human civilization, including advancements in agriculture, music, and metallurgy.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive
