Raw Blame History

kind, kinds

Definition:

The terms "kind" and "kinds" refer to groups or classifications of things that are connected by shared characteristics.

  • In the Bible, this term is specifically used to refer to the distinctive kinds of plants and animals that God made when he created the world.
  • Often there are many different variations or species within each "kind." For example, horses, zebras, and donkeys are all members of the same "kind," but they are different species.
  • The main thing that distinguishes each "kind" as a separate group is that members of that group can reproduce more of their same "kind." Members of different kinds cannot do that with each other.

Translation Suggestions

  • Ways to translate this term could include "type" or "class" or "group" or "animal (plant) group" or "category."
  • The word "species" wouldnot_ be an accurate translation of this term, since "kind" is a more general category, with several species within it.
