📚 Historical Context
In the early chapters of Genesis, after Cain murdered his brother Abel, Adam and Eve had a third son named Seth, who represented a continuation of the godly lineage. Seth later had a son named Enos, and this birth is noted in Scripture as the time when people began to formally call upon the name of the Lord, signifying a revival of worship. This event highlights the beginning of organized religious expression in a world marked by sin and separation from God.
