'''Seth''',{{efn|({{hebrew Name|{{Script/Hebrew|שֵׁת}}|Šēt|Šēṯ}}; {{langx|ar|شِيْث|translit=Šīṯ}}, {{IPA|ar|ˈʃiːθ|IPA}}; {{langx|el|Σήθ}} ''Sḗth''; "placed", "appointed")}} in the [[Abrahamic religions]], was the third son of [[Adam]] and [[Eve]]. The [[Hebrew Bible]] names two of his siblings (although it also states that he had others): his brothers [[Cain]] and [[Abel]]. According to {{bibleverse||Genesis|4:25|HE}}, Seth was born after Abel's murder by Cain, and Eve believed that [[God]] had appointed him as a replacement for Abel.
