to their begetting-lines
| Root | ילד (y-l-d) |
| Core Meanings | to bear, to beget, to bring forth, birth, offspring |
| Semantic Range | generations, descendants, genealogical lines, family histories, ancestral records, accounts of origins |
| Conceptual Significance | תּוֹלְדוֹת structures much of the biblical narrative, especially in Genesis, marking covenantal lineage and continuity. It emphasizes identity through birth-lines, underscoring inheritance, promise, and the unfolding of divine purpose through successive generations. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לְ (to/for) + feminine plural construct noun תּוֹלְדֹת from תּוֹלְדָה + 3rd masculine plural pronominal suffix (-ם). The construct form links the noun to the possessive suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun תּוֹלְדֹת (feminine plural construct) derives from ילד, "to beget/bear," and denotes lines of descent or begettings. The prefixed לְ is rendered "to," and the 3rd masculine plural suffix "-ם" is reflected in "their," yielding "to their begetting-lines," which preserves both the root idea of birth and the plural possessive morphology. |
