SIBI-P1 H2233-14
from the seed of
| Root | זרע (z-r-ʿ) |
| Core Meanings | sowing, scattering seed, seed, offspring, posterity |
| Semantic Range | literal agricultural seed; semen; offspring; descendants; lineage; posterity; sowing-time; agricultural produce |
| Conceptual Significance | זֶרַע is central to covenant theology, especially in promises concerning Abraham’s "seed"—both physical descendants and, in some contexts, a chosen line. It binds together themes of fertility, continuity, inheritance, and divine promise across generations. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition מִן ("from") prefixed to a masculine singular noun in construct state (Ncmsc). The construct form links the noun to a following genitive ("seed of X"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun זֶרַע is masculine singular in the construct state, and with the prefixed preposition מִן it literally means "from seed of." The rendering preserves the concrete root sense of "seed" (that which is sown) while allowing its relational, genealogical force in construct ("seed of" someone). |
