Alternate translation: “whom he named Enosh.”

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
הוּחַ֔ל לִקְרֹ֖א בְּשֵׁ֥ם יְהוָֽה
it_was_born/begun//played to=call in/on=name_of YHWH
The phrase call on the name of Yahweh is an idiom that refers to prayers, worship, and praise in which people addressed God directly by his personal name Yahweh. It also implies that they were trusting in him to help and guide them. Alternate translation: “people began to address God by his name Yahweh as they worshiped him.” or “people began to praise Yahweh by name.” or “people first called Yahweh by name in their prayers and worship.”
4:26 Enosh means “humankind.” In the Old Testament, the term is often used in poetic texts that emphasize human mortality, frailty, and weakness (e.g., Ps 144:3, “mere mortals”). Enosh was born at the time when people began to worship the Lord by name (literally call on the name of the Lord). In Genesis, that meant calling on the name of the Lord through sacrifice and prayer (similar Hebrew terminology is found in Gen 12:8; 13:4; 21:33; 26:25).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
