Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and the New Testament is γενεά (genea), Strong's Greek #1074, which also means "generation" and carries similar connotations of moral and spiritual character. Usage: The term "kidor" is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a generation, often with a connotation of moral or spiritual character. It can describe a group of people living at the same time, particularly in terms of their collective behavior or attitude. The word is sometimes used to highlight the rebellious or unfaithful nature of a particular generation.
