Usage: The name Sheth appears in the genealogical records of the Bible, primarily in the context of lineage and ancestry. It is used to denote the line through which the godly descendants of Adam continued after the death of Abel. Context: Sheth, also spelled Seth, is a significant biblical figure mentioned in the Book of Genesis. He is the third son of Adam and Eve, born after the murder of Abel by Cain. According to Genesis 4:25 (BSB), "And Adam again had relations with his wife, and she gave birth to a son and named him Seth, saying, 'God has granted me another seed in place of Abel, since Cain killed him.'" Seth is considered the ancestor of Noah and, consequently, the forefather of all post-flood humanity. His birth is seen as a divine provision for the continuation of the righteous lineage, as he is described as being made in the image and likeness of Adam (Genesis 5:3, BSB). The line of Seth is characterized by a legacy of faithfulness to God, contrasting with the line of Cain. Seth's descendants include notable figures such as Enosh, Kenan, Mahalalel, Jared, Enoch, Methuselah, Lamech, and Noah. The genealogical records in Genesis 5 trace the lineage from Adam through Seth to Noah, emphasizing the importance of this line in the biblical narrative.
