I'm not sure what "line" you refer to. My inquiry is earnest and if you have a direction in which you suggest I go, it would be appreciated. Even better, what do you say the verse is saying in light of my original question?

HH: The line is the slant you are trying to give the verse. What the verse is saying is what the standard translations say it is saying. I have never seen an alternative in any major published translation. Do you have an alternative example to offer? You don't seem to understand Hebrew. Just stick with the major translations and commentaries available. They are reliable. Sometimes there is disagreement among them, and those are cases for closer investigation. This is not one of them, as far as I know. Are you translating the verse without recourse to standard translations? Here are a few:

KJV: Gen. 4:26 And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.

NRSV: Gen. 4:26 To Seth also a son was born, and he named him Enosh. At that time people began to invoke the name of the LORD.

NIV: Gen. 4:26 Seth also had a son, and he named him Enosh. At that time men began to call on the name of the LORD.

HCSB: Gen. 4:26 A son was born to Seth also, and he named him Enosh. At that time people began to call on the name of the Lord.

Yours,
Harold Holmyard
