SIBI-P1 H8435-05
their begettings
| Root | ילד (y-l-d) |
| Core Meanings | to bear, bring forth, beget, give birth |
| Semantic Range | births, begettings, genealogies, descendants, family lines, historical accounts arising from a lineage |
| Conceptual Significance | תּוֹלְדוֹת structures major sections of Genesis, marking covenantal lines and unfolding redemptive history through successive begettings. It emphasizes continuity of promise through physical descent and the historical outworking of divine purposes in family lines. |
| Morphological Notes | Hebrew noun, common feminine plural construct (תּוֹלְדֹת) with 3rd person masculine plural pronominal suffix (־ם), from תּוֹלְדָה; Strong’s H8435. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun תּוֹלְדֹת derives from ילד ("to beget, give birth") and literally denotes acts or results of begetting. Rendering it as "their begettings" preserves the generative force of the root while reflecting the feminine plural construct form with a third masculine plural suffix ("their"). |
