What does Genesis 1:28 mean in Hebrew?

[rcwitness]

פְּר֥וּ (pru) is a command, which is not passive as in “be fertile!”. Perhaps the best English equivalent would be “produce!”. You can look up online the various translations of fertile in Hebrew. As an adjective it would be פּוֹרֶה (poreh). As far as I know, this is not used as a verb anymore.

Ok, thanks much.

It’s hard to find equivalents for one language and another when there are multiple meanings of one word in either which may not always coincide.

Right. I definitely understand that complexity.
