Definition:

A "descendant" is someone who is a direct blood relative of someone else further back in history.

• For example, Abraham was a descendant of Noah.
• A person's descendants are his children, grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren, and so on. Jacob's descendants were the twelve tribes of Israel.
• The phrase "descended from" is another way of saying "a descendant of" as in "Abraham was descended from Noah." This could also be translated as "from the family line of."
