499. Verses 7-8. And Seth lived after he begat Enosh eight hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters. And all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years, and he died. The “days” and numbers of “years” signify here as before the times and states. “Sons and daughters” too have the same signification as before; and so likewise as the statement that he “died.”
