Strong's Lexicon gennéma: Offspring, produce, fruit Original Word: γέννημα Part of Speech: Noun, Neuter Transliteration: gennéma Pronunciation: ghen'-nay-mah Phonetic Spelling: (ghen'-nay-mah) Definition: Offspring, produce, fruit Meaning: offspring, child, fruit. Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb γεννάω (gennaō), meaning "to beget" or "to bring forth." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is תּוֹלְדוֹת (toledot), meaning "generations" or "descendants," and פְּרִי (peri), meaning "fruit." Usage: The term "gennéma" primarily refers to that which is produced or brought forth, often used in the context of offspring or fruit. In the New Testament, it is used both literally and metaphorically to describe physical produce, such as fruit from a tree, and spiritual or moral outcomes, such as the fruits of one's actions or character. Cultural and Historical Background: In the agrarian society of the ancient Near East, the concept of "fruit" or "produce" was deeply significant, symbolizing not only physical sustenance but also prosperity and blessing. The metaphorical use of "fruit" to describe moral and spiritual outcomes was common in Jewish thought, reflecting the idea that one's actions and character are the "produce" of one's life.

Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 1081: γένημα γένημα, γενήματος, τό (from γίνομαι), a form supported by the best manuscripts in Matthew 26:29; Mark 14:25; Luke 12:18; Luke 22:18; 2 Corinthians 9:10, and therefore adopted by T (see his Proleg., p. 79) Tr (L WH (see WH's Appendix, p. 148 and below)), printed by Griesbach only in Luke 12:18; 2 Corinthians 9:10, but given by no grammarian, and therefore attributed by Fritzsche (on Mark, p. 619f) to the carelessness of transcribers — for Rec. (but in Luke, the passage cited Rst reads γενημ.) γέννημα, which see In Mark 14:25 Lachmann has retained the common reading; (and in Luke 12:18 Tr text WH have σῖτον. In Ezekiel 36:30 manuscripts A B read γενήματα). STRONGS NT 1081: γέννημα γέννημα, γεννήματος, τό (from γεννάω), that which has been begotten or born; a. as in the earlier Greek writings from Sophocles down, the offspring, progeny, of men or of animals: ἐχιδνῶν, Matthew 3:7; Matthew 12:34; Matthew 23:33; Luke 3:7; (γυναικῶν, Sir. 10:18). b. from Polybius (1, 71, 1 etc.) on (cf. Winers Grammar, 23), the fruits of the earth, products of agriculture (in the Sept. often γεννήματα τῆς γῆς): Luke 12:18 (where Tr (txt. WH) τόν σῖτον); τῆς ἀμπέλου, Matthew 26:29; Mark 14:25; Luke 22:18; cf. Lob. ad Phryn., p. 286. Metaphorically, fruit, reward, profit: τῆς δικαιοσύνης, 2 Corinthians 9:10 (Hosea 10:12; τῆς σοφίας, Sir. 1:17 Sir. 6:19). Further, see γένημα.
