b ² However, Tubal-cain could have preceded Enoch, son of Jared, by about a century, for Lamech, Tubal-cain’s father, was not necessarily as old when Tubal-cain was born as Jared was (162) when his son Enoch was born. Lamech could have been as young when Tubal-cain was born as Mahalalel was (65) when his son Jared was born.—Gen. 4:1, 17-22, 25; 5:3-18.
