Genesis 4:25 - The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann

Bible Comments

And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth; for God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew. The names of other children of Adam and Eve are not mentioned, only that of Seth, who took the place of the first-born, and whose name Eve herself explained: "For the Lord has set to me another descendant in the place of Abel, because Cain slew him. " What human wickedness had taken from her in the deed of Cain the divine goodness replaced in the person of Seth.
