Dear Iver,

You are right in your general summary of the range of meaning for GENEA,
and it is helpful to be alerted to the difference from the English word
"generation." Thank you. But the Greek word can have the meaning
"generation," and I disagree with some of your assignments of verses to
categories other than this one. Under the meaning "generation" I would put:
Matt 23:36; Luke 17:25; Matt 11:16; Heb 3:10; and Matt 24:34. Of course, I
would include the parallels as well. A couple of other passages that you
put under the gloss "people" are debatable but could fit into this category
of "generation."

				Yours,
				Harold Holmyard
