Topical Encyclopedia

The term "begot" is a past tense form of "beget," which is frequently used in the Bible to describe the act of fathering a child. This term is particularly significant in the genealogical records found throughout Scripture, where it serves to trace lineage and establish familial connections. The use of "begot" underscores the importance of ancestry and heritage in biblical narratives, reflecting the cultural and theological emphasis on lineage.

Biblical Usage

In the Old Testament, "begot" is prominently featured in genealogies, such as those found in Genesis, Chronicles, and other historical books. For example,Genesis 5:3 states, "When Adam was 130 years old, he had a son in his own likeness, after his own image; and he named him Seth." Here, the act of begetting is not merely biological but also conveys the transmission of likeness and image, reflecting the theological concept of humanity created in the image of God (Genesis 1:27).

The genealogies serve multiple purposes: they establish historical continuity, affirm God's promises to the patriarchs, and highlight the fulfillment of divine covenants. For instance, the genealogy inGenesis 11 traces the line from Shem to Abram, setting the stage for the Abrahamic covenant.

New Testament Context

In the New Testament, "begot" continues to play a crucial role, particularly in the genealogies of Jesus Christ.Matthew 1:2-16 provides a genealogy that begins with Abraham and concludes with "Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ." This genealogy emphasizes Jesus' legal right to the throne of David, fulfilling Old Testament prophecies regarding the Messiah's lineage.

The use of "begot" in these genealogies underscores the fulfillment of God's redemptive plan through Jesus Christ. It highlights the continuity of God's covenantal promises from the Old Testament to the New Testament, affirming Jesus as the promised Messiah.

Theological Significance

Theologically, "begot" signifies more than biological descent; it represents the transmission of covenantal blessings and divine purposes. In the context of Jesus' genealogy, it affirms His identity as the Son of David and the Son of Abraham, linking Him to the promises made to these patriarchs. This connection is vital for understanding the messianic expectations and the fulfillment of God's salvation plan through Christ.

Furthermore, the concept of begetting is used metaphorically in the New Testament to describe spiritual rebirth. In1 Peter 1:3 , it is written, "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead." Here, the idea of being "begotten" by God signifies the transformative work of salvation and the believer's new identity in Christ.

Conclusion

The term "begot" is integral to understanding biblical genealogies and the unfolding of God's redemptive history. It serves as a bridge between the Old and New Testaments, affirming the continuity of God's promises and the fulfillment of His covenant through Jesus Christ.
