Adam and Eve’s third son, born after Abel’s death. Eve named him Seth, saying that God had given her another child instead of Abel, whom Cain had killed (Genesis 4:25). Genesis notes that Adam fathered him “in his own likeness, after his image” (Genesis 5:3), the image of God passed on in spite of the fall.

Seth was 105 when his son Enosh was born, and he lived 912 years in all (Genesis 5:6–8). Through him the line runs on to Noah, and from Noah to Abraham, David, and Jesus (Luke 3:38).
