Strong's Lexicon dor: Generation, age, period Original Word: דּוֹר Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to gyrate or move in a circle. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1074 (genea): Generation, race, family - G165 (aion): Age, eternity, world Usage: The Hebrew word "dor" primarily refers to a generation or an age, often used to denote a period of time associated with a particular group of people. It can imply the span of a lifetime or the succession of people within a family or community. In the Bible, "dor" is used to describe the continuity of God's promises and the cyclical nature of human history. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of "generation" was significant in understanding one's identity and heritage. The Israelites placed great importance on genealogies and the transmission of traditions and covenants from one generation to the next. This reflects the communal and familial nature of their society, where the actions and faith of one generation could impact future generations.
