Strong's Lexicon egkuos: Pregnant Original Word: ἐγκύος Word Origin: Derived from the Greek preposition "ἐν" (en, meaning "in") and "κύω" (kuo, meaning "to be pregnant" or "to conceive"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is "הָרָה" (harah), which also means "pregnant" or "with child." Usage: The term "ἐγκύος" is used to describe a woman who is with child, emphasizing the state of pregnancy. It is a straightforward term that denotes the physical condition of carrying a developing fetus within the womb. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek and Jewish cultures, pregnancy was often seen as a blessing and a sign of divine favor. Children were considered a heritage from the Lord, and a woman's ability to conceive was highly valued. The state of being pregnant was associated with hope and the continuation of family lineage. In biblical times, the process of childbirth was fraught with danger, and successful pregnancies were celebrated.
