Genesis 4:19 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Lamech took two wives It was one of the degenerate race of Cain who first transgressed the original law of marriage, that two only should be one flesh, and introduced a custom which still subsists in many parts of the world. Christ fully laid open the iniquity of this practice, and restored marriage to its first form, Matthew 19:8.

Genesis 4:19
