lamech's prophecy

He says of his son, Noah (by way of explaining his name),

He will comfort us in the labour and painful toil of our hands caused by the ground the LORD has cursed. (Genesis 5:29)


An experiential knowledge of the fall and its consequences. The longing for a redeemer.

These were days when people had begun to call upon the name of the LORD (Genesis 4:26b).
