Genesis 5

Book: Genesis

Sep 28

The response of this provision of seed in Seth continues the hope of The Seed. Thus men begin to call upon the Name of the LORD. In other words, this demonstration by God of the hope of Genesis 3:15 gives man hope in God’s plan.

Contrasting the seed of the serpent, Cain, and his genealogical line in Genesis 4, the author reveals the line of Seth as the hope of the Seed of the Woman that follows in Genesis 5. The author continues the contrast by relating the evil outcome of Cain’s seed in Genesis 4, but now in Abel’s death, he will show the hope of obedience in Seth’s line.
