405. Verse 19. And Lamech took unto him two wives; the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah. By “Lamech” who was the sixth in order from Cain, is signified vastation, in consequence of there being no longer any faith; by his “two wives” is signified the rise of a new church; by “Adah” the mother of its celestial and spiritual things; and by “Zillah” the mother of its natural things.
