Strong's Lexicon gennésis: Birth, origin, genealogy Original Word: γένεσις Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb γίνομαι (ginomai), meaning "to become" or "to be born." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with genealogical records is תּוֹלֵדוֹת (toledot), Strong's Hebrew 8435, which means "generations" or "descendants." Usage: The term "gennésis" primarily refers to the concept of birth or origin. It is used to describe the beginning or lineage of a person or event. In the context of the New Testament, it often pertains to genealogical records or the nativity of Jesus Christ. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient world, genealogies were crucial for establishing identity, inheritance rights, and fulfilling prophecies. The Jewish culture placed significant emphasis on lineage, especially concerning the Messiah, who was prophesied to come from the line of David. The use of "gennésis" in the New Testament underscores the fulfillment of these prophecies and the divine nature of Jesus' birth.
