The Key Word — מוּת, vai.ya.Motgenerated
The Hebrew verb מוּת (mūth) means 'to die' and conveys a range of meanings from natural death to execution. In this verse, it indicates the conclusion of Seth's life, marking a significant moment in the genealogical record.
The verb is in the sequential imperfect form, showing that Seth's death is a completed action within the narrative. This construction emphasizes the finality of death, a recurring theme in the genealogies of Genesis.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The finite verbs וַיִּֽהְיוּ֙ and וַיָּמֹֽת govern the structure of the verse. The first verb introduces the subject and the total lifespan, while the second verb concludes the narrative with Seth's death.

Boxes are the grammarian's groupings — clause, noun phrase, prepositional phrase.
The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text states that Seth lived a total of 912 years before he died. The Samaritan Pentateuch agrees with the Masoretic Text word for word, confirming the same lifespan and the phrase 'and then he died.' The Septuagint, while it has a partial correspondence with the Masoretic Text, does not provide a complete translation of this verse, and its specific wording and structure differ. Therefore, the Samaritan Pentateuch and the Masoretic Text align closely, while the Septuagint does not fully match the original Hebrew text.
וַיִּֽהְיוּ֙ כָּל־ יְמֵי־ שֵׁ֔ת שְׁתֵּ֤ים עֶשְׂרֵה֙ שָׁנָ֔ה וּתְשַׁ֥ע מֵא֖וֹת שָׁנָ֑ה וַיָּמֹֽת׃ ס

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.
I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered to you. 1 Corinthians 11:1.
For it was of the Lord to harden their hearts. Joshua 11:1.

Go, inquire of the Lord for me. 2 Chronicles 34:2.
That holy thing that shall be born of thee. Luke 1:1.
Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…

(compensation), (Genesis 4:25; 6:3; 1 Chronicles 1:1) the third son of Adam, and father of Enos. (B.C. 3870.) Adam handed down to Seth and his descendants the promise of mercy, faith in which became the distinction of God’s children. (Genesis 4:26)
