And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enosh: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.
All Commentaries on Genesis 4:26 Go To Genesis 4
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
We have two lines of succession, one descending from Cain and the other from the son who was born to Adam in order to be the heir of Abel who was killed and to whom Adam gave the name of Seth. He is referred to in the words “God has given me another seed, for Abel whom Cain slew.” Thus it is that the two series of generations that are kept so distinct, the one from Seth and the other from Cain, symbolize the two cities with which I am dealing in this work, the heavenly city in exile on earth and the earthly city, whose only search and satisfaction are for and in the joys of earth.
