and they begot

Rootילד (y-l-d)
Core Meaningsbirth, begetting, bringing forth, generating offspring, lineage
Semantic Rangeto bear (as a woman), to beget (as a man), to bring forth offspring, to give birth, to produce descendants, to declare lineage
Conceptual SignificanceThe verb ילד is central to biblical concepts of covenant continuity, genealogy, and inheritance. It marks the transmission of promises, tribal identity, and covenant blessing through successive generations.
Morphological NotesConjunction וְ plus Qal wayyiqtol (waw-consecutive imperfect) 3rd masculine plural from ילד. Narrative past tense: "and they begot."
Rendering RationaleThe root ילד fundamentally denotes bringing forth or generating offspring. In the Qal stem with waw-consecutive (HC/Vqw3mp), the form is a third masculine plural wayyiqtol, narrating past action: "and they begot." The rendering preserves the active, simple stem (Qal) and the masculine plural subject.
