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.
