12 Դու պիտի մշակես հողը, բայց նա պիտի չկարողանայ քեզ տալ իր արդիւնքը: Ահ ու դողի եւ երերման մէջ պիտի լինես երկրի վրայ»:

439. That 'Seth' means faith through which charity may be received was shown in the previous verse. 'His son whose name was Enosh' means a Church which considered charity to be the primary element of faith. This too is clear from what has been stated already, and also from the fact that he was called Enosh, another name which means man (homo), not the celestial man however but the truly human spiritual man, meant here by Enosh. And this is also clear from the statement immediately following about their beginning to call on the name of Jehovah.
