uW Translation Notes:

אֶת־יָבָ֑ל

DOM Jabal

Alternate translation: [a son whose name was Jabal]

ה֣וּא הָיָ֔ה

he/it it_became

Consider whether or not it is best in your language to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: [who was] or [who grew up and became]

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

אֲבִ֕י יֹשֵׁ֥ב

father_of was_sitting

The phrase father of is used here as a common expression that means Jabal was the first person to do these things. He originated this way of living, and many people after him followed his example. Alternate translation: [the first of all people who]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

4:20-22 Technological advancement masks increasing self-assertion and distance from God (see study note on 4:17–5:32).

OET (OET-RV) Adah gave birth to Yaval (Jabal) who became the ancestor of people who live in tents and rear cattle.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.

Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
