Strong's Lexicon tiktó: To bear, bring forth, give birth Original Word: τίκτω Word Origin: A primary verb Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H3205 (yalad): To bear, bring forth, beget - H3206 (yeled): Child, son, boy Usage: The Greek verb "tiktó" primarily means to bear or give birth. It is used in the New Testament to describe the physical act of childbirth, as well as metaphorically to describe the bringing forth of spiritual or moral outcomes. The term emphasizes the process of bringing something new into existence, whether it be a child or a new reality. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greco-Roman world, childbirth was a significant event, often surrounded by various cultural and religious practices. The act of giving birth was seen as both a natural and divine process, with deities like Eileithyia in Greek mythology overseeing childbirth. In Jewish culture, childbirth was considered a blessing from God, and the ability to bear children was highly valued. The use of "tiktó" in the New Testament reflects these cultural understandings, often highlighting the fulfillment of divine promises and the continuation of God's covenant through generations.
