Genesis 5:3

in his own likeness, after his image Cf. Genesis 1:26. Man was made inGod's image, afterHis likeness; he begets a son, inhis own likeness, afterhis image. Many Heb. MSS., however, only read "in his image." On the words "image" and "likeness," see note on Genesis 1:26. The phrase here is evidently intended to shew that the elements of resemblance to the Divine image, which at the first were implanted in man's nature, were communicated from father to son.

That the priestly document contained any tradition respecting the Fall, or the murder of Abel, seems improbable.

Seth See note on Genesis 4:25. The father here gives the name; the mother's name is not mentioned in this genealogy.
