Strong's Lexicon harah: To conceive, become pregnant Original Word: הָרֶה Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4815 (sullambanō): To conceive, to seize, to take hold of - G1096 (ginomai): To become, to come into existence Usage: The Hebrew verb "harah" primarily means to conceive or become pregnant. It is used in the context of a woman becoming pregnant, indicating the beginning of new life. This term is often employed in genealogical records and narratives to denote the continuation of family lines and the fulfillment of divine promises through offspring. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, conception and childbirth were seen as blessings from God, integral to the survival and prosperity of families and tribes. Fertility was highly valued, and barrenness was often viewed as a misfortune or divine disfavor. The ability to conceive was considered a sign of God's favor and a means of fulfilling His promises, particularly in the context of the Abrahamic covenant, where descendants were promised as numerous as the stars.
