Seth, [a] in the Abrahamic religions, was the third son of Adam and Eve. The Hebrew Bible names two of his siblings (although it also states that he had others): his brothers Cain and Abel . According to Genesis 4:25 , Seth was born after Abel's murder by Cain, and Eve believed that God had appointed him as a replacement for Abel.
