Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek word γενεά corresponds to several Hebrew terms in the Old Testament, primarily: Usage: The word γενεά is used in various contexts in the New Testament, often to describe a specific group of people living at the same time or to refer to a lineage or ancestry. It can also be used metaphorically to describe the moral or spiritual state of a group of people. Context: • Contextual Usage: In the New Testament, γενεά is frequently used to describe the contemporaries of Jesus, often with a moral or spiritual connotation.
