What is the word for 'seed' in Genesis according to Les?
According to the teaching, the word for 'seed' is zera, spelled z-e-r-a, with various endings. It is a Greek word much like the English word 'sheep,' always used the same way whether singular or plural. This is how it appears in Genesis.
Les teaches that the word for 'seed' in Genesis is the Greek word 'zera' (z-e-r-a), with various endings. He notes it is much like the English word 'sheep,' which is always used the same way whether singular or plural. This comes from his teaching in Romans chapter 9, where he explains that the children of the promise are counted for the seed, contrasting them with the children of the flesh from Ishmael and Esau, who are not in the line of the covenants.
