437、“塞特”表示一个新的信,仁经由它而来。他的名字本身就解释了这一点,他得这个名,是因为“神另立了一个种代替亚伯,因为该隐杀了他”。神“另立了一个种”表示主另赐了一个信;因为“另一个种”就是信,仁经由这信而来。“种”表示信(参看255节)。

[NCE]437. The symbolism here of Seth as a new faith that will allow charity to take hold is explained by his name, in that he was so called because God restored other seed in place of Abel, since Cain killed him. God restored other seed means that the Lord gave people another kind of faith. Other seed is a faith that allows for the growth of charity. For the symbolism of seed as faith, see above at 255.
Potts(1905-1910) 437
437. That "Seth" here signifies a new faith, through which comes charity, is explained by his name, which it is said was given him because God "appointed another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew." That God "appointed another seed" means that the Lord gave another faith; for "another seed" is the faith through which comes charity. That "seed" signifies faith, may be seen above (n. 255).
Elliott(1983-1999) 437
437. Here 'Seth' means new faith, by way of which comes charity. This is explained by his very name, which he received because 'God has appointed another seed in place of Abel, seeing that Cain had killed him'. 'God has appointed another seed' means that the Lord conferred another faith. 'Another seed' is faith by way of which charity may be received. That 'seed' means faith, see what has been stated already in 255.
Latin(1748-1756) 437
437. Quod 'Sheth' significet hic novam fidem per quam charitas explicatur per nomen ejus, quod ita vocatum quia 'reposuit Deus semen aliud loco Habelis, quod occiderit eum Cain'; 'quod reposuerit Deus semen aliud' significat quod donaverit Dominus aliam fidem 'semen aliud' est fides per quam charitas; quod 'semen' significet fidem, videatur prius n. 255.
