Grains or particles, tiny individual pieces, used metaphorically for innumerable offspring like sand grains
This term refers to grains or tiny particles, specifically used in Isaiah 48:19 in a poetic parallel about multiplication. God tells Israel that if they had obeyed, their offspring would have been like sand, and 'the offspring of your body like its grains.' The imagery is of innumerable tiny particles—just as sand consists of countless individual grains, so their descendants would have been innumerable. The term may relate to words for seed or small coins, emphasizing tiny individual units.

1. sense 1 — Tiny grains or particles, used in Isaiah 48:19 for poetic parallelism about multiplication—'your seed like sand, and the offspring of your body like its grains.' The image is of countless tiny particles comprising sand. Some interpret this as 'entrails of the sea' (its innermost parts), but the grain imagery provides better poetic parallel. The Spanish 'granos' (grains) captures the particle sense. 1×
