Usage: The name Σήθ appears in the genealogies of the New Testament, specifically in the lineage of Jesus Christ, as recorded in the Gospel of Luke. Context: Σήθ (Seth) is a significant biblical figure, known as the third son of Adam and Eve, born after the murder of Abel by Cain. His birth is seen as a divine appointment, as Eve declared, "God has granted me another seed in place of Abel, since Cain killed him" (Genesis 4:25, BSB). Seth's lineage is notable for its role in the preservation of the godly line through which Noah, and eventually Jesus Christ, would come. In the New Testament, Seth is mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus as recorded in Luke 3:38, which traces Jesus' ancestry back to Adam, emphasizing His connection to all humanity. The inclusion of Seth in this genealogy highlights the fulfillment of God's promise to bring redemption through the seed of the woman (Genesis 3:15). Seth's descendants are credited with the beginnings of public worship, as it is noted that during the time of his son Enosh, "men began to call upon the name of the LORD" (Genesis 4:26, BSB). This marks a significant development in the spiritual history of humanity, distinguishing the line of Seth as one that sought to maintain a relationship with God amidst a world increasingly characterized by sin and rebellion.
