After Abel's murder, Eve bore Seth, declaring that God had appointed another offspring in Abel's place (Genesis 4:25). His line would preserve the godly seed through whom blessing would come, contrasting with Cain's cursed descendants. Seth's genealogy leads through Enosh (when people began to call on the Lord's name) to Noah and eventually to Abraham. Luke includes Seth in Jesus's genealogy (3:38), tracing the line all the way to Adam, 'the son of God.' Seth represents God's gracious preservation of the promised line despite human violence.
