Psa 127:3 "Lo, children are an heritage(H5159) of the LORD: and the fruit(H6529) of the womb(H990) is his reward."
I just did an interesting word study of "Heritage" and "fruit of the womb."
Many translations interpret the two statements in this verse to say virtually the same thing: i.e. "children are a gift from the Lord; they are His reward."
According to the original language a more accurate translation would be- "Children are the Lord's POSSESSION. They are an heirloom given to us from Him as a reward."
I prefer this translation because it places more value on children as an heirloom to be treasured and God's possession to be protected.
I am humbled that God has honored me to intrust me with the invaluable treasure of five wonderful children in my quiver. I love them all and my wife who gave birth to them. It's only natural that such wonderfulness would come from such a wonderful woman.
