When Seth was 105 years old
The name "Seth" in Hebrew is "שֵׁת" (Shet), meaning "appointed" or "placed." Seth was appointed by God as a replacement for Abel, whom Cain killed. This highlights God's provision and the continuation of the godly lineage through which the promise of redemption would come. The age of 105 years signifies the longevity of the antediluvian patriarchs, which is a testament to the early conditions of the earth and God's blessing upon humanity. This period of extended lifespans allowed for the rapid expansion of the human race and the establishment of early civilizations.

he became the father of Enosh
The phrase "became the father of" in Hebrew is "וַיּוֹלֶד" (vayyoled), which means "to beget" or "to bring forth." This indicates not only the biological act of fathering a child but also the continuation of a spiritual and familial legacy. Enosh, in Hebrew "אֱנוֹשׁ" (Enosh), means "man" or "mortal." His name reflects the human condition and the awareness of mortality that began to permeate human consciousness after the Fall. Enosh's birth marks a significant point in the biblical narrative, as it is during his time that people began to call upon the name of the LORD (Genesis 4:26), indicating a revival or deepening of spiritual awareness and worship. This highlights the importance of maintaining a godly heritage and the impact of faith across generations.

Verses 6-20, - The lives of the succeeding patriarchs are framed upon the model of this Adamic biography, and do not call for separate notice. The names of the next six were Seth (ver. 6; vide Genesis 4:25); Enos (ver. 9; vide Genesis 4:26); Cainan, possession (Gesenius); a child, one begotten (Furst); a created thing, a creature, a young man (Ewald); possessor, or spearsman (Murphy; ver. 12); Mahalaleel, praise of God (Gesenius, Furst, Murphy; ver. 15); Jared, descent (Gesenius); low ground, water, or marching down (Furst); going down (Murphy; ver. 18); Enoch, dedicated, initiated (ver. 19; cf. Genesis 4:17).
