begettings of
| Morphological Notes | Feminine plural noun in construct state (תּוֹלְדֹת), indicating “begettings of …” in a genitive relationship. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from ילד (“to bear/beget”) and refers to what has been brought forth. Rendering it as "begettings of" preserves the plural feminine construct form and keeps the focus on generative descent rather than abstract history. |
