This term is used to describe the early stages of life, often emphasizing the innocence, learning, and development that occur during this time. In Ecclesiastes 11:10, the word is used to remind readers of the fleeting nature of youth: "So banish sorrow from your heart, and cast off pain from your body, for youth and vigor are fleeting."

The concept of יַלְדוּת is often associated with growth, potential, and the foundational experiences that shape an individual's character and future.
