The third son of Adam and Eve. He replaced Abel, whom Cain murdered (Genesis 4:25). Seth appears as the firstborn son of Adam in the family lists of Genesis 5:3–8, 1 Chronicles 1:1 (“Sheth” in the King James Version), and Luke 3:38. It was through Seth’s line that Jesus was born. Seth was the father of Enosh and lived 912 years.
