         Comments: In biblical times the reckoning of a lineage was somewhat complex in view of certain distinctions between legal and biological relations. The focus of meaning in {L:γένεσις}[b], {L:οἶκος}[c], and πατριά[a] is not, however, the list of ancestors, but the lineage of successively related persons to which the reference person belongs. Some scholars, however, interpret {L:γένεσις}[c] history, {D:33.19}).|In some languages a successive series of ancestors is called ‘the forefathers’ or ‘those to whom one looks back’ or ‘those who have gone ahead.’ In other languages a lineage is referred to as ‘a person’s root’ or ‘a man’s trunk’ (referring to the trunk of a tree).|In {S:04200200400054} there appears to be no significant difference in meaning between {L:οἶκος} and πατριά, and in some receptor languages it would be sufficient to use a single term essentially equivalent to ‘lineage.’ The two terms appear to simply reinforce their shared meaning.

         DefinitionShort: a relatively large unit of people who constitute a sociopolitical group, sharing a presumed biological descent (in many contexts πατριά[b] and {L:φυλή}[b] are very similar in meaning to {L:ἔθνος} and {L:λαός}[a], {D:11.55})
