How is the word zera used in the Bible?
The term zera, used for 'seed,' is described as a Greek word that behaves like the English word 'sheep': it is always used the same way, whether it is in the singular or the plural. It may appear with various endings, but its meaning and usage remain consistent.
Les explains that the word "seed" in Romans 9:8 is the Greek word zera, spelled z-e-r-a, with various other endings. He compares it to the English word "sheep," noting that it is always used the same way whether it is in the singular or the plural. This means the word does not change form to indicate number; its usage remains consistent.
