Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 1471: ἔγκυος ἔγκυος (WH ἐνκυος, see ἐν, III. 3.), ἐγκυον, for the more usual ἐγκύμων (from ἐν and κύω), big with child, pregnant: Luke 2:5. (Herodotus 1, 5 etc.; Diodorus 4, 2; Josephus, Antiquities 4, 8, 33.) Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Greek preposition "ἐν" (en, meaning "in") and "κύω" (kyo, meaning "to be pregnant" or "to conceive"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence between Greek and Hebrew terms, the concept of pregnancy in the Hebrew Bible is often expressed with words like הָרָה (harah, Strong's Hebrew 2030), which also means "to conceive" or "to be pregnant." This Hebrew term is used in various Old Testament passages to describe women who are with child, reflecting similar themes of divine promise and fulfillment. Usage: The word ἐγκύος is used in the New Testament to describe a woman who is with child, emphasizing the state of pregnancy. Context: The Greek term ἐγκύος appears in the New Testament to denote the condition of pregnancy. It is a descriptive term used to highlight the physical state of a woman who is carrying a child. This term is significant in biblical narratives that involve themes of birth and the fulfillment of divine promises through offspring. In the context of the New Testament, ἐγκύος is used in passages that discuss the miraculous and prophetic births that are central to the biblical narrative. For instance, the term is employed in the account of Mary, the mother of Jesus, emphasizing the miraculous nature of her conception by the Holy Spirit. This highlights the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies concerning the Messiah's birth. The use of ἐγκύος in the New Testament underscores the importance of lineage and the continuation of God's covenant through generations. It serves as a reminder of the divine intervention in human history, particularly in the context of salvation history.
