1. The patriarch Seth ( 1 Chronicles 1:1).
2. In the A.V. of Numbers 24:17, שֵׁת is rendered as a proper name, but there is reason to regard it as an appellative, and to translate, instead of "the Sons of Sheth," "the sons of tumult," the wild warriors of Moab, for in the parallel passage ( Jeremiah 48:45) שָׁאוֹ , Shaon, "tumult, " occupies the place of Sheth שֵׁת , Sheth, is thus equivalent to שֵׁאת , Sheth, as in Lamentations 3:47. Ewald proposes, very unnecessarily, to read שֵׁת , seth= שְׂאֵת , and to translate "the sons of haughtiness" ( Hochmuthsssohne ) . Rashi takes the word as a proper name, and refers it to Seth the son of Adam; and this seems to have been the view taken by Onkelos, who renders "he shall rule all the souls of men." The Jerusalem Targum gives "all the sons of the East;" the Targum of Jonathan ben-Uzziel retains the Hebrew word Sheth, and explains it "of the armies of Gog who were to set themselves in battle array against Israel."
