In Genesis 4:18, the form is tagged as a proper noun and occurs twice in the sequence that says Enoch was its father and that it fathered Mehujael. The APB renders the verse, "To Enoch was born Irad; Irad fathered Mehujael," placing the name within successive family relationships.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Genesis 4:18, the APB presents the name as "Irad" in both the birth and fathering clauses.
