seed

Rootזרע (z-r-ʿ)
Core Meaningsto sow, scatter seed, plant, offspring, progeny
Semantic Rangeliteral seed for planting; agricultural produce; sowing; offspring; descendants; posterity; lineage
Conceptual Significanceזֶרַע is central to covenantal theology, especially in promises regarding Abraham’s "seed" as chosen offspring and covenant heirs. It bridges agricultural imagery and lineage, expressing continuity of life, covenant identity, and divine promise through generations.
Morphological NotesHebrew noun, common masculine singular absolute (HNcmsa). No pronominal suffix; basic lexical form functioning as a singular collective noun in many contexts.
Rendering RationaleThe noun זֶרַע is a masculine singular absolute form derived from the root זרע ("to sow"). The rendering "seed" preserves the direct agricultural sense of that which is sown, while also allowing for its extended meaning of offspring or progeny, both inherent in the root concept.
