Seth or Shet (שֵׁת "Placed; appointed", Standard Hebrew Šet, Tiberian Hebrew Šēṯ, Arabic ÔíË), in the Book of Genesis of the Hebrew Bible, is the third son of Adam and Eve mentioned by name, and brother of Cain and Abel. He was born after Cain slew Abel.
According to the Bible, all contemporary humans are descended from Seth through his great-great-great-great-great-great-grandson Noah. According to the Book of Jubilees, Seth married his younger sister Azura, was 105 when his son Enos was born, and he died at the age of 912. In rabbinic literature, the name Seth (Hebrew: Sheth) is explained as meaning "foundation." According to this tradition, Seth was perceived as the "Foundation of the World," since he was the first ancestor of mankind to be born of human parents.
Josephus refers to Seth as the most notable of the sons of Adam in the Antiquities of the Jews, and reports that his descendents built the Pillars of the sons of Seth.
Many supposed Jesus to have been the son of Joseph, who was a descendant of Seth (Luke 3:23-38).
