Enosh, whose name means "mortal" or "man," signifies the beginning of a new generation. The birth of Enosh is significant as it marks the continuation of the godly line through which the promise of redemption would come. This lineage is crucial in biblical history as it leads to Noah and eventually to Jesus Christ, fulfilling God's promise of a Savior.<p><b>Seth lived 807 years</b><br>The long lifespan of Seth, as recorded here, reflects the antediluvian (pre-flood) conditions where people lived much longer than they do today. This extended lifespan allowed for the rapid population growth necessary to fill the earth. It also provided a means for the oral transmission of knowledge and traditions over many generations. The longevity of these patriarchs is a common theme in Genesis, emphasizing the vitality and strength of early humanity.<p><b>and had other sons and daughters</b><br>This phrase highlights the fact that Seth, like many of the patriarchs, had a large family. The mention of "other sons and daughters" suggests that the genealogical records in Genesis are selective, focusing on the line through which God's redemptive plan would unfold.
