406、“拉麦”表示荒废,或信不复存在。这从23-24节经文清楚可知,其中说到“人伤我,我把他杀了;小孩损我,我把他害了”。此处“人”表示信,“小孩”表示仁。

[NCE]406. The symbolism of Lamech as devastation, or the absence of faith, can be seen in verses 23-24 below: he killed a man for his wound and a little child for his bruise. A man there means faith and a little child charity.
Potts(1905-1910) 406
406. That by "Lamech" is signified vastation, or that there was no faith, is evident from the following verses (23, 24), in which it is said that he "slew a man to his wounding, and a little one to his hurt;" for there by a "man" is meant faith, and by a "little one" or "little child" charity.
Elliott(1983-1999) 406
406. 'Lamech' means vastation, that is, the fact that faith is no more. This becomes clear from verses 23, 24, below, which state that 'he killed a man (vir) to his wounding, and a little one to his bruising'. At that point 'man' is used to mean faith, 'a little one' or little child to mean charity.
Latin(1748-1756) 406
406. Quod per 'Lamech' significetur vastatio seu quod nulla fides, constare potest a vers. seq. 23, 24, quod 'virum occiderit in vulnus suum, et parvulum in livorem suum'; ubi per 'visum' intelligitur fides, et per 'parvulum' seu puerulum, charitas.
