The Birth of Seth
25 Adam had sexual relations with his wife again, and she gave birth to another son. She named him Seth,[a] for she said, “God has granted me another son in place of Abel, whom Cain killed.” 26 When Seth grew up, he had a son and named him Enosh. At that time people first began to worship the Lord by name.
