Injunctions concerning offerings and tithes were expressed by these Hebrew terms alone (Numbers 18:12; Deuteronomy 14:23 ). This word "fruit" is also used of children or offspring (Genesis 30:2; Deuteronomy 7:13; Luke 1:42; Psalm 21:10; 132:11 ); also of the progeny of beasts (Deuteronomy 28:51; Isaiah 14:29 ).
It is used metaphorically in a variety of forms (Psalm 104:13; Proverbs 1:31; 11:30; 31:16; Isaiah 3:10; 10:12; Matthew 3:8; 21:41; 26:29; Hebrews 13:15; Romans 7:4,5; 15:28 ).
The fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22,23; Ephesians 5:9; James 3:17,18 ) are those gracious dispositions and habits which the Spirit produces in those in whom he dwells and works.
