Name of God’s Son

ΕΓΕΝʼΝΗΣΕΝ, εγενʼνησεν

EGENʼNĒSEN, egenʼnēsen

Sounds Like: eh-GEN-nee-sen

Translations: begot, gave birth to, bore, produced

From the root: ΓΕΝΝΑΩ

Part of Speech: Verb

Explanation: This word is the 3rd person singular, aorist active indicative form of the verb 'γεννάω' (gennao), meaning 'to beget' or 'to give birth to'. It describes a completed action in the past, indicating that 'he', 'she', or 'it' begot or gave birth. The apostrophe indicates an elision, meaning a vowel was dropped from the end of a preceding word before this word, or from the beginning of this word itself, though in this case, it's likely just a transcription convention for the aorist ending.

Inflection: 3rd Person Singular, Aorist, Active, Indicative
