It emphasizes the continuation of a family line through successive generations. This term is typically used in poetic or prophetic passages to highlight the enduring legacy or promise of a family or individual.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, lineage and heritage were of paramount importance. The concept of descendants was closely tied to the promises of God, particularly those made to the patriarchs like Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The continuation of one's line was seen as a blessing and a fulfillment of divine promises. The term "nin" reflects this cultural emphasis on progeny as a means of preserving one's name and legacy.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/5125.htm">nun</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>offspring, posterity<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>offspring (3).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">נִין</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>offspring, posterity</b></font>;
