Commentary on Genesis 4:25

Theological / Devotional

Seth. After having reported the development of the ungodly family of Cain, the author returns to Adam and Eve and recounts briefly the history of those who were loyal to God. Shortly after Abel’s death a third son was born, to whom his mother gave the name Seth, Sheth, the “appointed one,” the “compensation” or “substitute” for Abel. Eve, seeing that her godly son was dead and recognizing that God’s words concerning the promised seed could not find their fulfillment in cursed Cain, expressed her faith that the promised Deliverer would come through Seth. Her faith was rewarded, for the descendants of Seth obeyed the Lord.
