The meaning of Fruit in the Bible
(From Easton's Bible Dictionary)
a word as used in Scripture denoting produce in general, whether vegetable or animal. The Hebrews divided the fruits of the land into three classes:,
The fruit of the field, "corn-fruit" (Heb. dagan); all kinds of grain and pulse.
The fruit of the vine, "vintage-fruit" (Heb. tirosh); grapes, whether moist or dried.
"Orchard-fruits" (Heb. yitshar), as dates, figs, citrons, etc.
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; Psalms 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 (Psalms 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.
