Zillah, mentioned in Genesis 4:19, 22, was one of two wives of Lamech. She had two children, a son, Tubal-Cain, and a daughter, Naamah. "Lamech, the sixth descendant in order, beginning with Cain, symbolizes devastation — a condition in which there is no more faith. The two wives symbolize the origin of a new church; Adah stands as the mother of that church's heavenly and spiritual attributes, Zillah as the mother of its earthly attributes." (Arcana Coelestia 405) For further reference, see Arcana Coelestia 324, 333, 409, 421, 426, 427, 434, 435, and 1242.

434. Verse 25 And the man (homo) knew his wife again, and she bore a son, and she called his name Seth - for God has appointed me another seed in place of Abel, seeing that Cain had killed him.
'The man' and 'his wife' are here used to mean the new Church which earlier on was meant by 'Adah and Zillah'. 'Her son whose name she called Seth' means new faith, through which charity may be received 'God has appointed another seed in place of Abel, seeing that Cain had killed him' means that charity, which Cain separated and annihilated, was now conferred on this Church by the Lord.
