8352. Sheth

Strong's Lexicon

Sheth: Seth

Original Word: שֵׁת
Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine
Transliteration: Sheth
Pronunciation: shayth
Phonetic Spelling: (shayth)
Definition: Seth
Meaning: Sheth

Word Origin: Derived from the root שִׁית (shiyth), meaning "to place" or "to appoint."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4589 (Σήθ, Seth): The Greek equivalent of the Hebrew Sheth, used in the genealogies of Jesus in the New Testament (Luke 3:38).

Usage: The name Sheth (Seth) is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to the third son of Adam and Eve. Seth is considered a replacement for Abel, whom Cain killed. His name is often interpreted as "appointed" or "granted," reflecting Eve's belief that God had appointed another offspring in place of Abel.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the biblical narrative, Seth is significant as the ancestor of Noah and, consequently, all of humanity post-flood. The line of Seth is often contrasted with the line of Cain, representing a lineage that remained faithful to God. Seth's birth is seen as a continuation of God's promise to sustain humanity and is a pivotal point in the genealogical record leading to the patriarchs and ultimately to Jesus Christ.
