>The Book of Jubilees also records the names of the patriarchs' wives: Seth had Azura, Enos had Noam, Cainan had Mualaleth, Mahalaleel had Dinah, Jared had Baraka, Enoch had Edna, Methuselah had other Edna, Lamech had Betenos and Noah had Emzara
>The Bible also listed the lineage of Cain, who lived in "the land of Nod, on the east of Eden", far from Seth's clan. Cain's wife bore Enoch, the father building a city which he "called the name of the city after the name of his son". Unto Enoch "was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech". The latter had two wives, who bore him three sons: Jabal, Jubal, and Tubalcain. Ten patriarchs in total, just like in Seth's family
>Although the two clans lived far apart from each other without any contact, it seems that they named most of their children similarly: Enoch / Enoch, Cainan / Cain, Mahalaleel / Mehujael, Methuselah / Methusael, Jared /Irad, Lamech / Lamech. This similarity can be explained by either a lack of imagination in both clans, an improbable coincidence, or an invention of the Bible's editors. As shown in the table below, Cain's lineage is identical to Seth's, with a few minor changes in names (Cain instead of Cainan and Methusael instead of Methuselah) and places switched between Enoch and Mahalaleel
>The Bible does not provide details about Enoch from Seth's clan, the seventh patriarch, only stating that "Enoch walked with Yahweh after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters: And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years: And Enoch walked with Yahweh: and he was not; for Yahweh took him" (Genesis 5:22-24). However, the Book of Enoch presents his life in detail. In addition to the Watchers episode described above, Enoch was taken to heaven several times to be made aware of "all the secrets of heaven"
