Word Origin: A primary verb

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • יָלַד (yalad) • Strong's Hebrew 3205: A primary root meaning to bear, bring forth, beget, or gender. This Hebrew term is often used in the Old Testament to describe the act of childbirth or the lineage of individuals, similar to the Greek τίκτω in its emphasis on birth and generation.

These entries provide a comprehensive understanding of τίκτω, illustrating its significance in both the physical and spiritual realms within the biblical text.

Usage: The verb τίκτω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of giving birth or bringing forth offspring. It is often used in both literal and metaphorical contexts, referring to physical birth as well as the production or emergence of something new.

Context: The Greek verb τίκτω appears in various contexts throughout the New Testament, primarily in the Gospels and the writings of Paul. It is a term that conveys the process of childbirth, emphasizing the act of bringing forth life. In the Berean Standard Bible, τίκτω is used to describe the birth of Jesus Christ, as seen in Matthew 1:21: "She will give birth to a Son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins." This highlights the fulfillment of prophecy and the divine nature of Christ's birth.

The term is also used metaphorically to describe spiritual or moral outcomes. For example, in James 1:15, it is written, "Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death." Here, τίκτω illustrates the progression from desire to sin, and ultimately to death, emphasizing the consequences of unchecked sinful desires.

In the broader biblical narrative, τίκτω is significant in understanding the themes of creation, new beginnings, and the fulfillment of God's promises. It underscores the miraculous nature of birth and the continuity of life, both physically and spiritually.
