Respectfully, a correction is required. Noah is not a descendant of Cain. He descends from Seth. Both Cain and Seth had a Lamech in their lineage, but Noah came through the Lamech of Seth's line (Genesis 5: 4-29) not Cain's line (Genesis 4:16-23). Please correct the information as soon as possible. Thanks in advance. [clarified -ed]

Lamech is not a descendant of Cain. He is a descendant of Adam's third son Seth. Lamech's ancestry is as follows:
Adam, Seth, Enosh, Kenan, Mahalalel, Jared, Enoch, Methuselah (father).
