he/she/it came-to-be
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple past), middle voice (deponent in function), indicative mood, third person singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb γίνομαι denotes coming into being or becoming. The form ἐγένετο is aorist middle indicative, third person singular, expressing a simple completed past action: "came to be" or "became." Although middle in form (deponent), it carries active meaning, so the rendering preserves the aorist past sense while reflecting the root idea of emergence into being. |
