Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for "generation" is γενεά (genea), Strong's Greek 1074, which carries a similar meaning of lineage and period.

Usage: The Hebrew word "dar" is used to denote a generation or a period of time. It can also imply the concept of dwelling or habitation, reflecting the cyclical nature of human existence and the continuity of life through successive generations.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of a generation was significant in understanding lineage, heritage, and the fulfillment of God's promises. The Israelites placed great importance on genealogies, as they were a means of preserving family history and identity. The term "dar" reflects the cyclical nature of life and the enduring legacy of God's covenant with His people across generations.
