Literally, it refers to the seed of plants or the male seed in reproduction. Metaphorically, it denotes offspring or descendants, often used to describe the lineage of Abraham or the spiritual descendants of faith. It can also refer to the Word of God as a seed that is sown in the hearts of believers.Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient agrarian societies, seed was a vital component of life, representing potential and future growth. The concept of seed was deeply embedded in Jewish thought, symbolizing the continuation of a family line and the fulfillment of God's promises to His people. The promise to Abraham that his "seed" would be as numerous as the stars (Genesis 15:5) is foundational to Jewish and Christian theology, emphasizing God's covenant and faithfulness.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div>Word Origin from <a href="/greek/4687.htm">speiró</a> Definition that which is sown, i.e. seed NASB Translation children (7), conceive* (1), descendant (4), descendants (16), posterity (1), seed (10), seeds (4).<div align="center"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div>STRONGS NT 4690: σπέρμα σπέρμα, σπέρματος, τό (σπείρω, which see), from Homer down, Hebrew זֶרַע , the seed (from which anything springs); a. from which a plant germinates; α. properly, the seed i. e. the grain or kernel which contains within itself the germ of the future plant: plural, <a href="/interlinear/matthew/13-32.htm">Matthew 13:32</a>; <a href="/interlinear/mark/4-31.htm">Mark 4:31</a>; <a href="/interlinear/1_corinthians/15-38.htm">1 Corinthians 15:38</a> (<a href="/interlinear/exodus/16-31.htm">Exodus 16:31</a>; <a href="/interlinear/1_samuel/8-15.htm">1 Samuel 8:15</a>); the singular is used collectively of the grains or kernels sown: <a href="/interlinear/matthew/13-24.htm">Matthew 13:24, 27, 37</a>; <a href="/interlinear/2_corinthians/9-10.htm">2 Corinthians 9:10</a> (here L Tr σπόρος). β. metaphorically, a seed i. e. a residue. or a few survivors reserved as the germ of a new race (just as seed is kept from the harvest for the sowing), <a href="/interlinear/romans/9-29.htm">Romans 9:29</a> after <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/1-9.htm">Isaiah 1:9</a>, where the Sept. for שַׂרִיד (so also Wis. 14:6; 1 Esdr. 8:85 (87); Josephus, Antiquities 11, 5, 3; 12, 7, 8; Plato, Tim., p. 23{c}). b. the semen virile; α. properly: <a href="/interlinear/leviticus/15-16.htm">Leviticus 15:16-18</a>; <a href="/interlinear/leviticus/18-20.htm">Leviticus 18:20</a>f, etc.; (probably also <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/11-11.htm">Hebrews 11:11</a>, cf. καταβολή 1, and see below); often in secular writings.
