Strong's Hebrew: 2233. זָ֫רַע (zera) -- Seed, offspring, descendants, posterity

◄ 2233. zera ►

Berean Strong's Lexicon

zera: Seed, offspring, descendants, posterity

Original Word: זֶרַע
Part of Speech: Noun Masculine
Transliteration: zera
Pronunciation: ZEHR-ah
Phonetic Spelling: (zeh'-rah)
Definition: Seed, offspring, descendants, posterity
Meaning: seed, fruit, plant, sowing-time, posterity

Word Origin: Derived from the root verb זָרַע (zara), meaning "to sow" or "to scatter seed."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - σπέρμα (sperma): Strong's Greek 4690, used in the New Testament to convey similar meanings of seed and offspring, as seen in passages like Galatians 3:16.

Usage: The Hebrew word "zera" primarily refers to seed in both a literal and metaphorical sense. Literally, it denotes the seed of plants, as used in agricultural contexts. Metaphorically, it extends to mean offspring or descendants, emphasizing lineage and posterity. This dual usage underscores the concept of continuity and the transmission of life, both physically and spiritually.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, agriculture was central to daily life, making the concept of "zera" foundational. Seed was not only vital for sustenance but also symbolized potential and future growth. The idea of descendants was crucial in a patriarchal society where lineage determined inheritance, social status, and the fulfillment of divine promises. The Abrahamic covenant, for instance, heavily relies on the promise of numerous descendants (Genesis 15:5).
