Part of Speech: Noun Feminine
Transliteration: toledoth
Pronunciation: toh-led-oth
Phonetic Spelling: (to-led-aw')
Definition: Generations, descendants, genealogies, account
Meaning: descent, family, history

Word Origin: Derived from the root יָלַד (yalad), meaning "to bear, bring forth, beget."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1078 (γενεά, genea) - generation, race, family

- G1085 (γένος, genos) - kind, offspring, family

Usage: The term "toledoth" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote genealogical records or accounts of a person's descendants. It often introduces sections of narrative that detail the lineage and history of key biblical figures. The word can also refer to the broader historical or narrative account of a family or group.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, genealogies were crucial for establishing identity, inheritance rights, and social status. They served as a means of preserving family heritage and history. In the biblical context, genealogies are significant for tracing the lineage of the Israelites, particularly in relation to the promises made to the patriarchs, such as Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. They also underscore the fulfillment of God's covenantal promises through specific family lines, ultimately leading to the Messiah.
