- Genesis 4:25
And Adam again had relations with his wife, and she gave birth to a son and named him Seth, saying, “God has granted me another seed in place of Abel, since Cain killed him.”
Commentary on Genesis 4:252 voices
(Verse 25) And he called his name Seth. For God has provided me another offspring in place of Abel, whom Cain killed. Seth, properly θέσις, that is, position, is called because God had set him in place of Abel. Finally, Aquila says: And he called his name Seth, saying: For God has placed another offspring for me.
Jerome· Hebrew Questions on Genesis, 420Patristic
And Adam knew his wife again,.... The Targum of Jonathan adds, at the end of a hundred and thirty years after Abel was killed, see Gen 5:3 but, according to Bishop Usher, Seth was born the same year, which is most probable.

John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
The worshippers of God began to stir up themselves to do more in religion than they had done; perhaps not more than had been done at first, but more than had been done since the defection of Cain. Now men began to worship God, not only in their closets and families, but in public and solemn assemblies.

- Genesis 5:3

Cosmas Indicopleustes· The Christian Topography, Book 12, 550Patristic
(Verse 3.) Adam lived for two hundred and thirty years, and he begot in his own image and likeness, and he called his name Seth. It should be known that until the Flood, where it is said that somebody is said to have begotten two hundred and something years in our codices, in the Hebrew it has one hundred years and the rest that follow.

- Genesis 5:8
So Seth lived a total of 912 years, and then he died.
Commentary on Genesis 5:82 voices
And all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years, and he died. As his father Adam before him.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
The present life surely was not to them such a burden as commonly it is now, else they would have been weary of it; nor was the future life so clearly revealed then as it is now under the gospel, else they would have been impatient to remove to it: long life to the pious patriarchs was a blessing and made them blessings.
Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710Puritan
- 1 Chronicles 1:1
Adam, Seth, Enosh,
Commentary on 1 Chronicles 1:12 voices
Adam, Seth,.... These first four verses exactly agree with the account of the antediluvian patriarchs in Gen 5:1, the first letter in Adam is larger than usual, as a memorial, as Buxtorf (m) observes, of the first and only man, from whence mankind had their beginning, and whose history the author had undertaken to write.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
Adam, Sheth, Enosh - That is, Adam was the father of Sheth or Seth. Seth was the father of Enosh, Enosh the father of Kenan, and so on. No notice is taken of Cain and Abel, or of any of the other sons of Adam. One line of patriarchs, from Adam to Noah, is what the historian intended to give; and to have mentioned the posterity of Cain or Abel would have been useless, as Noah was not the immediate descendant of either.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832Evangelical
- Luke 3:38
the son of Enosh, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God.
Commentary on Luke 3:382 voices
Therefore Luke also thought that his origin should be traced back to God. Because God is the true Father of Christ, either the Father according to the true generation or the Author of the mystical gift—according to the regeneration of baptism. Furthermore, he did not start by describing his generation but first set forth his baptism. He desired to show him as God, the Author of all, weaving everything together through baptism.
Ambrose of Milan· EXPOSITION OF THE GOSPEL OF LUKE 3.11, 397Patristic
Which was the son of Enos,....
