23.204 · Physiological Processes and States · Ripen, Produce Fruit, Bear Seed

to yield plenty of fruit, to produce a good harvest to produce an abundance of good fruit or grain In some languages it may be difficult, if not impossible, to speak of the ground producing crops (LUK 12:16). Therefore, one may employ such expressions as ‘good crops grew on the ground’ or ‘the plants produced plenty of fruit’ or ‘... plenty of grain.’

LUK 12:16
