Strong's Lexicon yachid: Only, solitary, unique, beloved Original Word: יָחִיד Word Origin: Derived from the root יָחַד (yachad), meaning "to be united" or "to join." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3439 μονογενής (monogenēs) – often translated as "only begotten" or "unique," used in the New Testament to describe Jesus as the unique Son of God (e.g., John 3:16). Usage: The Hebrew word "yachid" primarily denotes the concept of being "only" or "unique." It is often used to describe something singular or one-of-a-kind, emphasizing exclusivity or preciousness. In the context of family, it can refer to an "only child" or a "beloved child," highlighting the special status or affection associated with being the sole offspring. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of "yachid" carried significant weight, especially in familial contexts. An "only child" was often seen as the sole heir and the primary bearer of the family lineage and legacy. This status could bring both honor and responsibility. The term also reflects the deep emotional bonds within family structures, where an "only" or "beloved" child would be cherished and protected.
