The Lord Will

Genesis 4:22

“And Zillah, she also bare Tubal–cain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubal–cain was Naamah.”

KJV

Read in Genesis 4

Meaning

Tubal-cain is associated with metalworking in bronze and iron, and Naamah is also named. The genealogy expands into skilled craft and technology.

Read carefully

The verse does not condemn metallurgy or technology. Later violence in the passage should not be used to label technical skill itself as evil.

Reflection

Tools amplify human capacity, but Genesis keeps technical achievement distinct from moral character; skill alone does not determine how power will be used.
