Strong's Lexicon tenuk: Infant, Baby Original Word: תְּנוּךְ Word Origin: Derived from the root נָקַק (naqaq), which means to suckle or nurse. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and the New Testament is "βρέφος" (brephos), which also means infant or baby. This term appears in passages such as Luke 2:12, where the angel describes Jesus as a "baby wrapped in swaddling clothes." Usage: The Hebrew word "tenuk" refers to a very young child, typically an infant or baby. It is used to describe a child in the earliest stages of life, emphasizing vulnerability and dependence on caregivers for sustenance and protection. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, infants were highly valued as blessings from God, representing the continuation of family lineage and the fulfillment of God's promises to His people. The care and nurturing of infants were primarily the responsibility of the mother, and the community played a supportive role in the child's upbringing. The birth of a child was often celebrated with rituals and offerings, reflecting the joy and gratitude of the family and community.
