Berean Strong's Lexicon Lamech: Lamech Original Word: Λάμεχ Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew לֶמֶךְ (Lemek) Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H3929 (לֶמֶךְ, Lemek) Usage: Lamech is a proper noun used in the Bible to refer to two distinct individuals. The first Lamech is a descendant of Cain, known for his boastful declaration of vengeance (Genesis 4:18-24). The second Lamech is a descendant of Seth, the father of Noah, noted for his hope in the relief from the curse of the ground (Genesis 5:25-31). Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes reflective of the character or destiny of the individual. Lamech, as a name, is associated with both a legacy of violence and a lineage of hope. The Lamech of Cain's line is depicted as a figure of escalating violence, while the Lamech of Seth's line is portrayed as a man of faith, looking forward to divine intervention through his son Noah.
