		+	'''Generation'''
		+	:In the long-lived patriarchal age a generation seems to have been computed at 100 years, (Genesis 15:16) comp. Genesis 15:13 and Ecclesiastes 12:40 But subsequently the reckoning was the same which has been adopted by modern civilized nations, viz. from thirty to forty years (Job 42:16) (Generation is also used to signify the men of an age or time, as contemporaries, (Genesis 6:9; Isaiah 53:8) posterity , especially in legal formul', (Leviticus 3:17) etc.; fathers, or ancestors. (Psalms 49:19)
		+
		+	==Easton's Bible Dictionary==
		+	'''Generation'''
		+	[[Genesis 2:4]], "These are the generations," means the "history." 5:1, "The book of the generations," means a family register, or history of Adam. 37:2, "The generations of Jacob" = the history of Jacob and his descendants. 7:1, "In this generation" = in this age. Psalms 49:19, "The generation of his fathers" = the dwelling of his fathers, i.e., the grave. Psalms 73:15, "The generation of thy children" = the contemporary race. Isaiah 53:8, "Who shall declare his generation?" = His manner of life who shall declare? or rather = His race, posterity, shall be so numerous that no one shall be able to declare it.
		+
		+	In [[Matthew 1:17]], the word means a succession or series of persons from the same stock. [[Matthew 3:7]], "Generation of vipers" = brood of vipers. 24:34, "This generation" = the persons then living contemporary with Christ. [[1 Peter 2:9]], "A chosen generation" = a chosen people.
		+
		+	The Hebrews seem to have reckoned time by the generation. In the time of Abraham a generation was an hundred years, thus- [[Genesis 15:16]], "In the fourth generation" = in four hundred years (comp. verse 13 and Exodus 12:40). In [[Deuteronomy 1:35]] and 2:14 a generation is a period of thirty-eight years.
