“Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son and called his name Seth, for she said, ‘God has appointed for me another child instead of Abel, because Cain killed him.’ To Seth also a son was born, and he named him Enosh. At that time men began to invoke the name of Yahweh.”
All of a sudden we are back to Adam and Eve. To replace the killed Abel, Seth is born. He seems to be the forgotten son of Adam and Eve, but becomes a genealogical hero. He too, had a son called Enosh, without mentioning where his wife came from. So we have the same problem as we had with Cain’s wife. Who is this female and where did she come from? His son Enosh was one of the first to invoke the name of Yahweh.
