to bring a child into the world: to give birth to, to father, or to be born
This is the basic Hebrew word for human (and animal) reproduction. One root covers the whole event from both sides: the mother who carries and delivers the child, and the father whose line the child continues. English needs different words for the two roles, so the same Hebrew verb is translated "bear" or "give birth" when a woman is the subject and "beget" or "father" when a man is. The passive forms mean simply "to be born."
Because it names the moment a new life enters a family, the word does the heavy lifting in the long genealogy lists, where it repeats as the spine of Israel's family tree ("so-and-so fathered so-and-so"). The same verb also describes the work of the woman who attends the delivery, the midwife.
The Bible then stretches the word past literal childbirth. It can picture God bringing his people or his chosen king into being as a father or mother brings a child, and it can picture an evil scheme being "conceived" and "brought forth" like a pregnancy. In every case the underlying idea is the same: something genuinely new is produced and comes out into the open.
