The Family Line of Seth
25 Adam was intimate with his wife again. She gave birth to a son and named him Seth,[a] because she said, “God has set another child in place of Abel for me, since Cain killed him.” 26 Later a son was born to Seth, and he named him Enosh. This is when people began to proclaim[b] the name of the Lord.
