Fruit
From BibleWiki
A word as used in Scripture denoting produce in general, whether vegetable or animal. The Hebrews divided the fruits of the land into three classes:,
- The fruit of the field, "corn-fruit" (Heb. dagan); all kinds of grain and pulse.
- The fruit of the vine, "vintage-fruit" (Heb. tirosh); grapes, whether moist or dried.
- "Orchard-fruits" (Heb. yitshar), as dates, figs, citrons, etc.
Injunctions concerning offerings and tithes were expressed by these Hebrew terms alone (Num 18:12; Deut 14:23). This word "fruit" is also used of children or offspring (Gen 30:2; Deut 7:13; Lk 1:42; Ps 2110; Ps 13211); also of the progeny of beasts (Deut 28:51; Isa 14:29).
It is used metaphorically in a variety of forms (Ps 10413; Prov 1:31; Prov 11:30; Prov 31:16; Isa 3:10; Isa 10:12; Mt 3:8; Mt 21:41; Mt 26:29; Heb 13:15; Rom 7:4f; Rom 15:28).
The fruits of the Spirit (Gal 5:22f; Eph 5:9; Jam 3:17f) are those gracious dispositions and habits which the Spirit produces in those in whom he dwells and works.
