Seed in its literal sense refers to the small, reproductive unit of plants from which a new plant can develop. In extended or metaphorical senses, it denotes offspring, descendants, or posterity, especially of humans and animals; also, it can refer generically to progeny or future generations. In agricultural contexts, it sometimes refers to the act of sowing or the season for sowing. The term also functions idiomatically for lineage, inheritance, or continuation of a family or people group.

his seed
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular common noun in construct state with 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun זֶרַע derives directly from the verb "to sow," denoting that which is sown. In construct form with a 3rd masculine singular suffix, it expresses possession, hence "his seed," preserving both root meaning and pronominal morphology. |
