Strong's Lexicon teknogoneó: To bear children, to give birth Original Word: τεκνογονέω Word Origin: From the Greek words τέκνον (teknon, meaning "child") and γίνομαι (ginomai, meaning "to become" or "to be born"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "teknogoneó," related concepts can be found in Hebrew words like יָלַד (yalad, Strong's H3205), which means "to bear, bring forth, beget." Usage: The verb "teknogoneó" specifically refers to the act of bearing or giving birth to children. It is used in the New Testament to describe the physical process of childbirth and the role of women in procreation. This term emphasizes the natural and God-given role of women in the continuation of human life through childbirth. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greco-Roman world, as well as in Jewish culture, bearing children was considered a primary role and blessing for women. It was often associated with a woman's identity and status within the family and society. Childbearing was seen as a fulfillment of God's command to "be fruitful and multiply" (Genesis 1:28). In the early Christian context, while spiritual roles and gifts were emphasized, the natural role of women in childbearing was still acknowledged and respected.
