FRUIT
Definition:

Scripture:
- When God tells Cain that the ground will no longer bear fruit for him:
Genesis 4:12 (KJV) When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength [instead of saying fruit]…
Joel 2:22 (KJV) …the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth her fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength.
- The first born (first fruit of the body) is referred to as the “first strength.”
Genesis 49:3 (KJV) Reuben, thou art my firstborn, my might, and the beginning [literally, “first”] of my strength…
Deuteronomy 21:17 (KJV) …the firstborn… for he is the beginning [literally, “first”] of his strength; the right of the firstborn is his.
