# descendant, descended from #
|
|
|
|
## 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."
