[edit] Tubalcain

In Genesis 4:22 Tubalcain is a descendant of Cain, the son of Lamech and Zillah, brother of Naamah. In Flavius Josephus' The Antiquities of the Jews it is said "But Tubal exceeded all men in strength, and was very expert and famous in martial performances, . . . and first of all invented the art of working brass." Others have implied that the original Genesis text may have paralleled that of verses 20 and 21 to imply his being the first artificer in brass and iron. One academic even went so far as tell the American Chemical Society that he should be honored as the first chemist of record.^[13]It has also been suggested that his invention of superior weapons may have been the motivation for Lamech's interest in avenging blood.^[14] It has been suggested here that his status as the son of Zillah (which translates as "darkness") may be indicative of his being a miner. His name is said by some outsiders to be a password in the Master Mason initiation ceremony of the Freemasons.^[15]
