Sheth
(Heb. id. ), the form of two names, one more accurate that that elsewhere, the other doubtful.
1. The patriarch Seth (1Ch 1:1).
2. In the A.V. of Num 24:17, 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 (Jer 48:45) , shaon, tumult, occupies the place of sheth , sheth, is thus equivalent to , sheth, as in Lam 3:47. Ewald proposes, very unnecessarily, to read , seth= , 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.

Sheth
tumult. (1.) “The children of Sheth” (Num. 24:17); R.V., “the sons of tumult,” which is probably the correct rendering, as there is no evidence that this is a proper name here.
(2.) The antediluvian patriarch (1 Chr. 1:1).

Sheth
1. Seth in 1Ch 1:1.
2. Num 24:17 translated “destroy all the children of tumult,” i.e. Moab’s fierce warriors (Exo 15:15; Isa 15:4; Isa 16:6). Sheth is related to shaon in the parallel “tumultuous ones,” Hebrew “children of tumult” (Jer 48:45); others make Sheth a Moabite king.
