Lemekh's Monologue
Points of Dispute
These are some of the central points of dispute (נקודות המחלוקת) between the various exegetes:
- What does "לָכֵן כָּל הֹרֵג קַיִן שִׁבְעָתַיִם יֻקָּם" mean?
- The one who kills Kayin will be revenged seven times – Septuagint,
- Kayin himself will be revenged at the end of seven generations – Aramaic Targumim, Midrash
- Kayin was killed by mistake by Lemekh who was the seventh generation from Adam – Midrash
- Kayin's descendants were wiped out during the flood
- How seven, because Lemekh is only sixth from Kayin? Seventh generation is the sons of Lemekh
- According to this possibility the Torah didn't explain what happens to the killer (כל הרג), but Kayin will שבעתים יקם
