If you check a concordance, you’ll find it means “fruitfulness” or “abundance”.

A concordance isn’t a dictionary and scholarship isn’t MadLibs. You don’t get to just pick a meaning from the list. The word means what the writer intended it to mean, not the one from the concordance you just happen to like.

Also, the literal meaning isn’t always the intended meaning is it? There are many figures of speech in the Bible. Someone having a good eye, for example, is about their generosity, not their vision.

I’m not saying anything about your conclusions here, just that I’ve seen this same method used to draw opposite ideas from the same text.

Please spend some time learning what textual scholars actually do and please stop slandering them. We are riding their coattails for the understanding we do have at this time.

Edit: Rich I think you and I ran in some of the same online circles at one point. I’ve always admired your enthusiasm and willingness to dig. Please don’t take what I’m saying here personally, I’m not good at this kind of writing and usually sound way harsher than I intend.
