γενεά
geneá · Greek · Strong's G1074 · 43 occurrences
The KJV renders 14 different Hebrew and Greek words as “time”
What it means
a generation; by implication, an age (the period or the persons)
from (a presumed derivative of) G1085 (γένος);
How the KJV renders it
age, generation, nation, time
Where that flattens a distinction
The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.
“time”
“age”
Questions this word decides
- Is the seventh-day Sabbath binding on Gentiles?
