Strong's Lexicon sheth: Seth Original Word: שֵׁאת Word Origin: Derived from the root שִׁית (shiyth), meaning "to place" or "to set." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4589 (Σεθ, Seth): The Greek transliteration of the Hebrew name Seth, used in the genealogies of Jesus in the New Testament (Luke 3:38). Usage: The Hebrew word "sheth" refers to Seth, the third son of Adam and Eve, born after the murder of Abel by Cain. Seth is considered a replacement for Abel and is significant in the genealogical line leading to Noah and ultimately to Jesus Christ. The name "Seth" is often understood to mean "appointed" or "granted," reflecting Eve's acknowledgment of God's provision of another offspring. Cultural and Historical Background: In the biblical narrative, Seth is a pivotal figure as he represents the continuation of the godly lineage after the tragic events involving Cain and Abel. Seth's birth is seen as a divine appointment, ensuring the preservation of a righteous line through which God's promises would be fulfilled. The Sethite line is noted for its faithfulness to God, contrasting with the line of Cain, which is marked by increasing wickedness.
