Jaredite PN | 1. | Son of SHIBLON, prince (Ether 1:10, 11; 11:9) |
Etymology
This name appears to be identical to the biblical personal name SETH (ลกฤt) that appears in Genesis 4:25. This biblical passage glosses the name with โappointedโ (King James), taking the meaning from the verb ลกศt, โto set, place,โ etc. Thus, Reynoldsโ suggestion for the Book of Mormon PN, โput.โ[1] In his monumental work on biblical personal names, Martin Noth however does not suggest an etymology for the biblical name.[2]
The possible explanations of the biblical name may or may not apply to this JAREDITE name. If the name was translated into NEPHITE then the biblical interpretations could apply. However, if the name were transliterated from the JAREDITE, then it is doubtful that the Hebrew etymologies would be helpful. In addition, the EGYPTIAN deity Seth has no linguistic or etymological connection with the biblical personal name, even though in both English and Greek both names are written the same. Therefore, by analogy, JAREDITE SETH may or may not have anything to do with the biblical name.[3]
