Lamech who lived for 777 years was 182 when son Noah was born (Genesis 5:28), a 10th-generation descendant of Adam.
Just as
Lamech is about to touch Noah's outstretched finger with the luminous relic, a group of men led by Tubal Cain approach, and
Lamech is torn away from his son to defend them both, before he is able to touch Noah's hand with the relic.
The Bible suggests a connection between the arts and the murderers Cain and

My portion is enough." (197) And in the Midrash Genesis Rabbah, redacted in Israel, (198) the rabbis describe the bigamy of
Lamech in quite an unflattering manner.
Genesis 4:19 refers to a descendant of Cain named
Lamech who "took unto him two wives"--Adah and Zillah.
From
Lamech's wives to those of Abraham, Esau, Jacob, David, and Solomon, wherever we see God's ideal of monogamy ignored, we witness strife, competition, and disharmony.
