On the Posterity of Cain

Philo of Alexandria · Parte 75

[75] [cap.22] "And Lamech took to himself two wives; the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other was Zillah." [54] Everything which a wicked man taketh himself is altogether blameable, as being polluted by his impure mind; and so, on the contrary, all deliberate actions of virtuous men [55] [56] are praise-worthy; on which account now, Lamech, who is taking wives unto himself, is choosing the greatest possible evils. Again, when Abraham, Jacob, and Aaron take to themselves wives, they choose appropriate good things to dwell with.
