# Seth # ## Facts: ## In the book of Genesis, Seth was the third son of Adam and Eve. * Eve said that Seth was given to her in place of her son Abel, who was murdered by his brother Cain. * Noah was one of Seth’s descendants, so everyone who has lived since the time of the Flood is also a descendant of Seth. * Seth and his family were the first people to “call on the name of the Lord.” (Translation suggestions: [How to Translate Names](rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-names)) (See also: [Abel](../names/abel.md), [Cain](../names/cain.md), [call](../kt/call.md), [descendant](../other/descendant.md), [ancestor](../other/father.md), [flood](../other/flood.md), [Noah](../names/noah.md)) ## Bible References: ## * [1 Chronicles 01:01](rc://en/tn/help/1ch/01/01) * [Luke 03:36-38](rc://en/tn/help/luk/03/36) * [Numbers 24:17](rc://en/tn/help/num/24/17) ## Word Data: ## * Strong’s: H8352, G4589
