Fruit
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:,

(1.) The fruit of the field, "corn-fruit" (Heb. dagan); all
kinds of grain and pulse.

(2.) The fruit of the vine, "vintage-fruit" (Heb. tirosh);
grapes, whether moist or dried.

(3.) "Orchard-fruits" (Heb. yitshar), as dates, figs, citrons,
etc.

Injunctions concerning offerings and tithes were expressed by
these Hebrew terms alone (Num. 18:12; Deut. 14:23). This word
"fruit" is also used of children or offspring (Gen. 30:2; Deut.
7:13; Luke 1:42; Ps. 21:10; 132:11); also of the progeny of
beasts (Deut. 28:51; Isa. 14:29).

It is used metaphorically in a variety of forms (Ps. 104:13;
Prov. 1:31; 11:30; 31:16; Isa. 3:10; 10:12; Matt. 3:8; 21:41;
26:29; Heb. 13:15; Rom. 7:4, 5; 15:28).

The fruits of the Spirit (Gal. 5:22, 23; Eph. 5:9; James 3:17,
18) are those gracious dispositions and habits which the Spirit
produces in those in whom he dwells and works.

FRUIT, property. The produce of tree or plant containing the seed or used
for food. Fruit is considered real estate, before it is separated from the
plant or tree on which it grows; after its separation it acquires the
character of personally, and may be the subject of larceny; it then has all
the qualities of personal property,
2. The term fruit, among the civilians, signifies not only the
production of trees and other plants, but all sorts of revenue of whatever
kind they may be. Fruits may be distinguished into two kinds; the first
called natural fruits, are those which the earth produces without culture,
as bay, the production of trees, minerals, and the like or with culture, as
grain and the like. Secondly, the other kind of fruits, known by the name of
civil fruits, are the revenue which is not produced by the earth, but by the
industry of man, or from animals, from some estate, or by virtue of some
rule of law. Thus, the rent of a house, a right of fishing, the freight of a
ship, the toll of a mill, are called, by a metaphorical expression, fruits.
Domat, Lois Civ. liv. 3, tit. 5, s. 3, n. 3. See Poth. De la Communaute, n.
45.
