23.53 · Physiological Processes and States · Birth, Procreation
offspring, brood, child (derivative of γεννάω[b] ‘to give birth,’ 23.52) that which has been produced or born of a living creature In some languages it may be possible to translate this phrase in MAT 3:7 more or less literally, for example, ‘the offspring of vipers,’ in which ‘vipers’ means poisonous snakes, but in other languages this would be impossible, and one must therefore use ‘little snakes.’ For another interpretation of γέννημα in MAT 3:7, see 58.26.
