Tubal-cain
Tubal-cain is a person mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, in . He was a descendant of Cain, the son of Lamech and Zillah, the brother of Naamah and half-brother of Jabal and Jubal. ==Name==
In Hebrew his name is תובל קין (''Tūḇal Qayin''). In the King James Version this is rendered as ''Tubalcain''. In the New International Version and the English Standard Version it is ''Tubal-cain''. Rashi interprets the name to mean "he who spices the craft of Cain."〔Rashi, (Bereishis, chapter 4 ).〕 It is not clear why he has a double-barrelled name. Gordon Wenham suggests that the name "Cain" means "smith" (which would anticipate the remarks about his metal-working skill), or that he is called "Tubal Cain" in order to distinguish him from the other Tubal, the son of Japheth.〔Gordon Wenham, Genesis 1-15 (Word, 1987), 113.〕 Coggins suggests it "may be a variant of the same tradition which lists Tubal in the table of nations" at , as a land well known for metalwork.
