CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Generation (394 words) |
 | It is in this sense, for example, that, during the long-lived patriarchal age, a "generation" is rated as a period of 100 years (Genesis 15:16, compared with Genesis 15:13, and Exodus 12:40), and that, at a later date, it is represented as of only 30 to 40 years. |
 | The word generation is used to mean an indefinite period of time: of time past, as in Deut., xxxii, 7, where we read: "Remember the days of old, think upon every generation", and in Isaias, lviii, 12, etc.; of time future, as in Ps. |
 | Independently of the idea of time, generation is employed to mean a race or class of men as characterized by the same recurring condition or quality. |
