Usage: The term נֶכֶד is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to descendants or offspring, often in the context of familial lineage and heritage.

Context: • נֶכֶד (neched) appears in the Hebrew Bible as a term denoting offspring or descendants. It is used to emphasize the continuation of a family line and the importance of progeny in the cultural and religious context of ancient Israel. The concept of offspring is central to the biblical narrative, reflecting the promises made by God to the patriarchs regarding their descendants. For example, in the context of blessings and covenants, the term underscores the perpetuation of a family’s name and legacy through successive generations.
• In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is translated in contexts that highlight the significance of lineage and the fulfillment of divine promises through one's descendants. The emphasis on offspring is not only biological but also spiritual, as it relates to the broader narrative of God's covenantal relationship with His people.
• The term נֶכֶד is used in various passages to illustrate the blessings of having a large and prosperous family, as well as the responsibilities that come with ensuring the faith and traditions are passed down to future generations.
