Bible Note: Gen. 4:26 THE CHUMASH [The following is from the translation and commentary on Genesis 4:26 found in THE CHUMASH (The Torah: With A Commentary Anthologized From the Rabbinic Writings), The Stone Edition, Mesorah Publications, Ltd., Brooklyn, New York, Copyright 1998, 2000.] Genesis 4:26 "And as for Seth, to him also a son was born, and he named him Enosh. Then to call in the Name of HASHEM* became profaned." (*HASHEM -- "the Name", YAHWEH, YHWH, Strong's # 3068) "The generation of Enosh introduced idolatry, which was to become the blight of humanity for thousands of years. By ascribing God-like qualities to man and lifeless objects, they created the abominable situation in which to call in the Name of HASHEM became profaned (Rashi)." |
