Strong's Lexicon
Mowliyd: Progenitor, Begetter

Original Word: מוֹלִיד
Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine
Transliteration: Mowliyd
Pronunciation: moh-LEED
Phonetic Spelling: (mo-leed')
Definition: Progenitor, Begetter
Meaning: Molid

Word Origin: Derived from the root יָלַד (yalad), meaning "to bear" or "to bring forth."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is γεννάω (G1080 - gennaō), which means "to beget" or "to bring forth."

Usage: The term "Mowliyd" refers to one who begets or brings forth offspring. It is used in genealogical contexts to denote a father or ancestor who has produced descendants. The word emphasizes the role of the progenitor in the continuation of a family line.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, genealogy was of paramount importance. Lineage determined one's tribal affiliation, inheritance rights, and social status. The concept of a "Mowliyd" was crucial in maintaining the continuity of family heritage and fulfilling God's promises to the patriarchs, such as the promise to Abraham that he would be the father of many nations (Genesis 17:4-5). The genealogical records in the Bible serve to trace the fulfillment of God's covenantal promises through specific family lines.
