Genesis4:25

25. And Adam knew his Wife again, and she bare a Son, and called his name Seth : For God, said she , hath appointed me another seed in stead of Abel , whom Cain slew.

She gave the name, but not without Adams consent, Gen. 5. 3.

By divine inspiration.

Note, that the word Seed is used of one single person, here and Gen. 21. 13. and 38. 8. Which confirms the Apostles argument Gal. 3. 16.

To succeed his Father Adam, as Abel should have done in the Priesthood, and Administration and care of Holy things in the Church of God.

Marginal references: Heb. Sheth.
