496. Verse 6 And Seth lived a hundred and five years; and he begot Enosh.

As has been stated, 'Seth' is a second Church, less celestial than the parent Most Ancient Church, but nevertheless one of the Most Ancient Churches 'He lived a hundred and five years' means, as previously, periods of time and states. 'He beget Enosh' means that from those people a different Church came down, which was called Enosh.
