'Descendants' in the Bible

These are the family records of the descendants of Adam. On the day that God created man, He made him in the likeness of God;

“Understand that I am confirming My covenant with you and your descendants after you,

Swear to me by God here and now, that you will not break an agreement with me or with my children and descendants. As I have been loyal to you, so you will be loyal to me and to the country where you are a foreign resident.”

I will give to you the landthat I gave to Abraham and Isaac.And I will give the landto your future descendants.

These are the names of the Israelites, Jacob and his sons, who went to Egypt:Jacob’s firstborn: Reuben.

The total number of persons belonging to Jacob—his direct descendants, not including the wives of Jacob’s sons—who came to Egypt: 66.

He said to me, ‘I will make you fruitful and numerous; I will make many nations come from you, and I will give this land as an eternal possession to your future descendants.’
