JABAL.Son of Lamech by Adah, and originator of the nomadic form of life, Gen_4:20 (J [Note: Jahwist.] ).
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909
("flowing stream".) Son of Lamech and Adah (Gen_4:20), "father (teacher and forerunner) of such as dwell in tents and have cattle." Abel fed sheep and goats, Jabal also larger animals, "cattle." Abel had a fixed dwelling, the land around which afforded sufficient sustenance for his flock. Jabal introduced the nomad life, in tents probably formed of skins, migrating in quest of pasture for his "cattle" from place to place (Gen_4:2; Gen_4:20). Savages live by hunting; emerging from barbarism they become nomadic, then agricultural. But Scripture represents man as placed by God in a simple civilization, raised above barbarism and the need of living by the chase, though not a highly developed culture. Adam "dressed and kept" the garden of Eden, and his sons must have learned from him some of his knowledge.

Ja'bal. (stream). The son of Lamech and Adah, Gen_4:20, and brother of Jubal. He is described as the father of such as dwell in tents and have cattle.

jā?bal (יבל, yābhāl, meaning uncertain): In Gen_4:20, a son of Lamech by Adah. He is called 'the father of those who dwell in tents and (with) herds.' So Gunkel, Gen3, 52, who says that the corresponding word in Arabic means ?the herdsman who tends the camels.? Skinner, Gen, 120, says that both Jabal and Jubal suggest יבל, yōbhēl, which in Phoenician and Hebrew ?means primarily 'ram,' then 'ram's horn' as a musical instrument, and finally 'joyous music' (in the designation of the year of Jubilee).? See also Skinner, Gen, 103, on the supposed connection in meaning with Abel.

Ja?bal (a stream), a descendant of Cain, son of Lamech and Adah, who is described in Gen_4:20, as 'the father of such as dwell in tents, and have cattle.' This obviously means that Jabal was the first who adopted that nomad life which is still followed by numerous Arabian and Tartar tribes in Asia. Abel had long before been a keeper of sheep; but Jabal invented such portable habitations (formed, doubtless, of skins) as enabled a pastoral people to remove their dwellings with them from one place to another, when they led their flocks to new pastures.

Jabal
(Heb. Yabal', יָבָל, a stream, as in Isa_30:25; Isa_44:4; Sept. Ι᾿ωβήλ, Josephus Ι᾿ώβηλος, Ant. 1, 2, 2), a descendant of Cain, son of Lamech and Adah, and brother of Jubal; described in Gen_4:20 as the father of such as dwell in tents, and have cattle. B.C. cir. 3500. This obviously means that Jabal was the first who adopted that nomadic life which is still followed by numerous Arabian and Tartar tribes in Asia (compare Buttman, Mythologus, 1, 164 sq.). Abel had long before been a keeper of sheep (Gen_4:2); but Jabal invented such portable habitations (formed, doubtless, of skins) as enabled a pastoral people to remove their dwellings with them from one place to another, when they led their flocks to new pastures. SEE TENT.
Bochart (Hieroz. i, 2. c. 44, near the end) points out the difference between his mode of life and Abel's, Jabal's was a migratory life, and his possessions probably included other animals besides sheep. The shepherds who were before him may have found the land on which they dwelt sufficiently productive for the constant sustenance of their flocks m the neighborhood of their fixed abodes. There is no need of supposing (with Hartmann, Ueb. Pentat. p, 395) any historical anticipation in Géneralé 4:17.
