Strong's Lexicon yeled: Child, boy, youth Original Word: יֶלֶד Word Origin: Derived from the root verb יָלַד (yalad), meaning "to bear" or "to bring forth." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3813 (παιδίον, paidion) – often used in the New Testament to refer to a young child or infant. - G5043 (τέκνον, teknon) – used to denote a child or descendant, emphasizing the relationship to parents. Usage: The Hebrew word "yeled" primarily refers to a child or a young boy. It is used to denote a male offspring, often emphasizing the early stages of life. The term can also be used more broadly to refer to children in general, regardless of gender, depending on the context. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, children were considered a blessing from God and a sign of His favor. They were integral to the family structure and were expected to carry on the family lineage and traditions. Sons, in particular, were often seen as heirs and were responsible for maintaining the family name and property. The upbringing and education of children were primarily the responsibility of the family, with a strong emphasis on religious instruction and moral development.
