And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
- Gen. 4:25 (KJV)
This verse states that Adam and Eve had another son named Seth. The reason listed is that Seth was appointed by God to carry on the lineage of mankind. Cain disqualified himself from carrying on the lineage due to disrespecting God's covenant by not giving the tithe correctly and by murdering Abel. Abel could not carry on the lineage because he was killed by Cain.
Despite of all of the trauma that Adam and Eve experienced by being kicked out of the Garden of Eden and losing a son, they decided not to give up on their relationship with God and decided not to give up on their relationship with each other. When times are tough, hold on to your relationship with God and with those who you are really close to in life.
Numerical Breakdown: (4) To stay in God's Word, continue to work on your relationships with others. (7) Be perfected by God in order to produced. (2) Walk in God's kingdom in order to be called. (5) To stay in God's presence, choose to stay on His side.
