I have killed a man for wounding me, a young man for injuring me.24 If Cain is avenged seven times, then Lamech seventy-seven times.”25 Adam made love to his wife again, and she gave birth to a son and named him Seth, saying, “God has granted me another child in place of Abel, since Cain killed him.”26 Seth also had a son, and he named him Enosh.

Enosh
Enosh, mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, was the son of Seth and the grandson of Adam and Eve.
Here are some key points about Enosh:
The Beginning of WorshipOne significant aspect of Enosh’s time, mentioned in Genesis 4:26, is that “then began men to call upon the name of the Lord.” This phrase has been interpreted in various ways.
LongevityLike many of his ancestors and descendants in the early Genesis accounts, Enosh lived a remarkably long life.
According to Mandaean beliefs and scriptures including the Qolastā, the Book of John and Genzā Rabbā, Abel is cognate with the angelic soteriological figure Hibil Ziwa, (Classical Mandaic:, sometimes translated "Splendid Hibel"), who is spoken of as a son of Hayyi or Manda d-Hayyi, and as a brother to Anush (Enosh) and to Sheetil (Seth), who is the son of Adam.
Human lifespan declines
Enosh, Seth’s son, lived for 905 years.
Kenan, Enosh’s son, lived for 910 years.
Genesis Apocryphon
The text details an exasperated Lamech, who questions whether the child being borne by his wife, Bath-Enosh, is his own, or belongs to one of the Nephilim.
