Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "artigennétos," the concept of newness and birth can be related to Hebrew terms like יָלַד (yalad, Strong's H3205), meaning "to bear" or "to bring forth."

Usage: The term "artigennétos" is used to describe something that has just been born or recently come into existence. In the context of the New Testament, it often refers to newborn infants or metaphorically to new believers who have just begun their spiritual journey in Christ.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the birth of a child was a significant event, often accompanied by various cultural and religious rituals. The concept of being "newly born" was not only a physical reality but also carried metaphorical implications, especially in philosophical and religious contexts. In early Christianity, the idea of being "born again" was central to the faith, symbolizing a spiritual rebirth and a new beginning in Christ.
