[B-Greek] OSFUI

Greetings,

I understand OSFUI metonymically as 'genes' in its Hebrews 7:10 occurrence. 
The reason for this is that the Bible in my opinion looks at the whole picture, past, present and future and
sees things as they are..things in this case that modern forensic science has only been using for the past 20 years, if that! 
The old 'loins' translation used even in modern English translations seems to be a euphemism of sorts, 
or the translators may have buried the word a little because more modern explicit renderings might drive a lot of readers in the wrong direction. 
I think that if a survey were done of what people thought 'loins' were many would more that likely think of associations with loin chops on
the dinner table!

Now, what do others think would be a good modern rendition of OSFUI as in the context of Hebrews 7:10?
