Strong's Lexicon nin: Descendant, offspring, progeny Original Word: נִין Word Origin: Derived from a root that is not used in the Hebrew Bible, but related to the concept of progeny or descendants. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts of descendants or offspring is "σπέρμα" (sperma), Strong's Greek #4690, which also conveys the idea of seed or progeny. Usage: The Hebrew word "נִין" (nin) is used to denote a descendant or offspring, often in the context of familial lineage. 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. Cultural and Historical Background: 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.
