Topical Lexicon

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

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1078 (γενεά, genea): This Greek term is often used in the New Testament to refer to a generation or age, similar to the Hebrew concept of תּוֹלְדָה in terms of lineage and descent.
- G4772 (συγγένεια, suggenia): This term refers to kinship or family, aligning with the idea of familial descent and relationships found in the Hebrew תּוֹלְדָה.

Usage: The word תּוֹלְדָה is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote genealogies, family histories, and the accounts of generations. It often introduces sections of Scripture that detail the lineage of significant biblical figures or the history of a people.

Context: The Hebrew term תּוֹלְדָה (toledah) is a significant word in the Old Testament, frequently appearing in contexts that outline genealogical records or historical accounts. It is often translated as "generations" or "descendants" and serves as a structural marker in the narrative, particularly in the Book of Genesis. For instance, Genesis 2:4 states, "This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created," introducing the creation narrative. Similarly, Genesis 5:1 begins with, "This is the book of the generations of Adam," leading into the genealogy from Adam to Noah.

The use of תּוֹלְדָה underscores the importance of lineage and heritage in the biblical narrative, reflecting the cultural and theological emphasis on ancestry and divine promise. It is not merely a record of biological descent but often carries theological implications, highlighting the unfolding of God's covenantal promises through specific family lines.

In addition to Genesis, תּוֹלְדָה appears in other books such as Exodus, Numbers, and 1 Chronicles, where it continues to serve as a key term for organizing historical and genealogical information. The term helps to trace the fulfillment of divine promises and the continuity of God's people throughout biblical history.
