25 Adam made love to his wife again, and she gave birth to a son and
named him Seth, saying, “God has granted me another child in place of Abel,
since Cain killed him.” 26 Seth also had a son, and he named him Enosh.
At that time people began to call on the
name of the Lord.

「塞特」這個名字的意義就是「補償」。因為敬虔的人亞伯被殺了,上帝就使亞當與夏娃在生一個兒子來代替,使這個兒子來補償亞伯的地位。而塞特的出生,也是讓亞當夏娃心裡得到補償,因為他們失去的兒子又得著了!
「以挪士」這個名字的意義就是「人」。之所以會稱為人,應該和「求告耶和華的名」有關係。人要能告呼求上帝的名,才可以完成上帝創造人的要求,因為人的受造就是要與上帝建立關係。
所以,上帝必為自己預備祂所喜悅的子民,不需要人為上帝做什麼,因為上帝是大能者!是上帝拯救人,不是人挽救上帝!因此,是人要仰望與倚靠上帝,不是人能為上帝做什麼!
