Seth was the third son of Adam and Eve. His birth was mentioned in Genesis 4:25. The couple would have rejoiced in the child's birth anyway. But they particularly rejoiced over God having given* them a son to replace the hardworking, kindly Abel. The younger Abel was killed by the couple's older son, Cain.

*The name 'Seth' resembles the Hebrew for 'has given'.
