he begot him
| Root | ילד (y-l-d) |
| Core Meanings | birth, bearing, begetting, bringing forth, lineage |
| Semantic Range | to bear (of a woman), to beget (of a man), to bring forth, to act as midwife, to produce offspring, to show lineage or genealogy |
| Conceptual Significance | This verb is central to biblical genealogies and covenantal continuity, expressing the transmission of life, inheritance, and covenant identity from father to son. In Israel’s narrative, "begetting" establishes lineage, tribal belonging, and the unfolding of divine promises through generations. |
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil perfect 3rd masculine singular with 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix ("him"). The Hiphil stem expresses causation: "he caused to be born." |
| Rendering Rationale | The root ילד centers on birth and bringing forth. In the Hiphil stem it carries a causative sense, "to cause to be born," hence "to beget." The 3rd masculine singular form with a 3ms pronominal suffix is preserved in the rendering "he begot him," reflecting both subject and object clearly. |
