What is a Generation?
GENERA'TION or GENERA'TIONS
"has three secondary meanings in the A.V.: 1. A genealogical register, as Gen 5:1. 2. A family history, Gen 6:9; Gen 25:1, since early history among the Orientals is drawn so much from genealogical registers. 3. A history of the origin of things as well as persons -- e.g. of the earth." -- Smith.
