The term "begetteth" is an archaic form of the verb "beget," which means to father or sire offspring. In the context of the Bible, "begetteth" is often used in genealogical records to indicate the lineage and descent of individuals, particularly in the Old Testament. This term is significant in understanding the transmission of heritage, covenant promises, and the fulfillment of divine prophecy through generations.

Biblical Usage:

1. Genealogical Records:
The use of "begetteth" is prominent in genealogical passages, such as those found in the Book of Genesis. These records are crucial for tracing the lineage from Adam through the patriarchs, leading to the nation of Israel and ultimately to Jesus Christ. For example, Genesis 5:3 states, "When Adam had lived 130 years, he had a son in his own likeness, after his own image, and he named him Seth."

2. Covenant Lineage:
The concept of begetting is central to the Abrahamic covenant, where God promises Abraham that he will be the father of many nations. This promise is fulfilled through the generations, as seen in Genesis 17:5-6 : "No longer will you be called Abram, but your name will be Abraham, for I have made you a father of many nations. I will make you exceedingly fruitful; I will make nations of you, and kings will descend from you."

3. Messianic Prophecy:
The genealogies that include the term "begetteth" are also vital in establishing the messianic line. The Gospel of Matthew begins with a genealogy that traces Jesus' lineage back to Abraham, emphasizing the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies. Matthew 1:2 states, "Abraham was the father of Isaac, Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers."

4. Spiritual Implications:
Beyond physical descent, "begetteth" can also have spiritual implications. In the New Testament, the concept of being "born again" or spiritually begotten is introduced. John 3:3 records Jesus' words to Nicodemus: "Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again." This spiritual begetting signifies a new birth through faith in Christ, leading to eternal life.

Theological Significance:

The act of begetting in the Bible is not merely a biological process but is deeply intertwined with God's sovereign plan and purpose. It reflects the continuity of God's promises through generations and highlights the importance of family and heritage in the biblical narrative. The genealogies that employ "begetteth" serve as a testament to God's faithfulness in fulfilling His promises and establishing His kingdom through His chosen people.
