434. Verse 25. And the man [homo] knew his wife again, and she bare a son, and called his name Seth; for God hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, for Cain slew him. The “man” and his “wife” here mean the new church signified above by “Adah and Zillah;” and by her “son” whose name was Seth, is signified a new faith, by which charity might be obtained. By “God appointed another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew” is signified that charity, which Cain had separated and extinguished, was now given by the Lord to this church.
