499. Verses 7-8 And Seth lived after he beget Enosh eight hundred and seven years; and he beget sons and daughters. And all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years; and he died.

Here, as previously, the days and numbers of years mean periods of time and states. 'Sons and daughters' have the same meaning as previously, and so too does 'he died'.
