Strong's Lexicon apokueó: To give birth, to bring forth Original Word: ἀποκυέω Word Origin: Derived from ἀπό (apo, meaning "from") and κύω (kuo, meaning "to be pregnant" or "to give birth") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀποκυέω, the concept of birth and bringing forth is often expressed in Hebrew by the verb יָלַד (yalad), which means "to bear" or "to bring forth." Usage: The verb ἀποκυέω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of giving birth or bringing forth. It is often used metaphorically to describe the process of something coming into being or being produced. In a spiritual context, it can refer to the birth of spiritual life or the manifestation of sin. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, the concept of birth was not only a physical process but also a metaphor for creation and the emergence of new life or ideas. The use of ἀποκυέω in the New Testament reflects this broader understanding, applying it to both physical and spiritual realities. The metaphorical use of birth imagery was common in Jewish and early Christian thought, often symbolizing transformation and new beginnings.
