The Holy Spirit is summing up the genealogy of the Holy Family that were distinct from the other line that Eve as the mother of all living bore. Seth for instance is mentioned first as a son in his own likeness. The Holy Spirit with this tag establishes clearly his place as the double for the Son.
The role of Eve is indirectly referred in the second instance 'after his image' (v.3) which sets the double function of Seth in the genealogy. "And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew." (4:25). He is stand-in for Abel, the righteous one. He was after the own image of the Son, so he is heavenly; also served also as a template for the earthy.. With this simple adoption the Spirit lays down the ground rule of being born again. (John3:5-7).
St Paul explains this double function. "And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly./ Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption." The will of God has laid the rule so Christ is the head of the church; For the holy family there is only the name of the son and in him should all his fullness dwell.
It is thus Seth stepped in the breach made by Cain so obedience of Seth proves his DNA, which was faith.
In this genealogy the v.4 could be taken as the template for introducing the heir of promise. Of the rest the Spirit rounds off with this formula. "And he begat sons and daughters.' for example see vv.6-7. Seth is followed by Enos and it is how the Holy Spirit has organized the generations of Adam. In the Gospel of St Mathew we have three sets of 14 generations each, from Abraham to Jesus giving us the key to understand all these lists are held together in Jesus Christ. (Matt.1:17) The tag of 42 (14x3) serves for the Son of man whose earthly ministry lasted 42 months.
