After the birth of Enosh
This phrase marks a significant point in the genealogical record of Genesis. The name "Enosh" in Hebrew (אֱנוֹשׁ) means "man" or "mortal," reflecting the human condition post-Fall, emphasizing the frailty and dependency of humanity on God. Enosh's birth signifies the continuation of the godly line from Adam through Seth, contrasting with the line of Cain. This lineage is crucial as it leads to Noah and eventually to Jesus Christ, highlighting God's faithfulness in preserving a remnant through whom His promises would be fulfilled.

Seth lived 807 years
The longevity of Seth, living 807 years, is a testament to the pre-Flood conditions described in Genesis. This extended lifespan is often interpreted as a sign of God's blessing and the vitality of early humanity. Theologically, it underscores the idea that life, even in its fallen state, is a gift from God. The long lives of the patriarchs also allowed for the transmission of knowledge and faith across generations, ensuring the preservation of God's revelation and the anticipation of redemption.

and had other sons and daughters
This phrase indicates that Seth, like other patriarchs, had a large family, though only Enosh is named in the genealogical record. The mention of "other sons and daughters" suggests the proliferation of humanity as commanded by God in Genesis 1:28, "Be fruitful and multiply." It also implies the spread of the human race and the development of early societies. From a theological perspective, this growth is part of God's plan to fill the earth with His image-bearers, despite the presence of sin. The focus on Seth's line highlights the preservation of a faithful remnant through whom God's redemptive purposes would unfold.
