Berean Strong's Lexicon gennétos: Born, begotten Original Word: γεννητός Part of Speech: Adjective Transliteration: gennétos Pronunciation: ghen-nay-TOS Phonetic Spelling: (ghen-nay-tos') Definition: Born, begotten Meaning: begotten, born. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of being born is יָלַד (yalad), Strong's Hebrew #3205, which means "to bear, bring forth, beget." Usage: The term "γεννητός" (gennétos) is used to describe something that is born or begotten. It emphasizes the state of having been brought into existence through birth. In the New Testament, it often refers to the physical birth of individuals, distinguishing between what is naturally born and what is spiritually reborn. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, lineage and birth were significant for determining one's social status, inheritance rights, and identity. The concept of being "born" carried implications of belonging and legitimacy. In Jewish thought, being born into the covenant community was crucial, but the New Testament introduces the idea of spiritual rebirth, which transcends physical lineage.
