# kind [NOT kindness]
|
||
|
||
## Definition:
|
||
|
||
The term “kind” refers to a group or classification of something(s) that share some common characteristics but not all characteristics.
|
||
|
||
* In the Bible, this term is specifically used to refer to the distinctive kinds of plants and animals that God made when he created the world.
|
||
* Often there are many different variations or species within each “kind.” For example, horses, zebras, and donkeys are all members of the same “kind,” but they are different species.
|
||
* The main thing that distinguishes each “kind” as a separate group is that members of that group can reproduce more of their same “kind.” Members of different kinds cannot do that with each other.
|
||
|
||
## Translation Suggestions
