Context — Genealogy of the Priestsgenerated

Cross References
The Key Word — הוֹלִ֣יד, ho.Lidgenerated
The Hebrew word הוֹלִיד (*ho.Lid*) is a verb meaning 'to beget' or 'to father.' It indicates the action of giving birth or producing offspring. The parsing as a Hiphil perfect third person masculine singular verb shows that it is an active form, indicating that the subject (Ahimaaz or Azariah) is the one performing the action of fathering.
This word is commonly used in genealogical contexts to establish lineage, as seen throughout the Old Testament. It emphasizes the continuity of family lines and the importance of ancestry in Israelite culture.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, which uses fathered for הוֹלִ֣יד.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The finite verb הוֹלִ֣יד, he fathered, governs the entire verse, linking Ahimaaz and Azariah, as well as Azariah and Johanan. The structure follows a straightforward genealogical format, typical in biblical texts, where each father-son relationship is clearly delineated.
The Hebrew word order places emphasis on the subject and the action of fathering, creating a clear lineage that is easy to follow in the context of the verse.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates הוֹלִ֣יד as υἱὸς (son), which emphasizes the relationship of father to son. This choice reflects the same genealogical intent as the Hebrew, maintaining the focus on lineage.
The translation captures the essence of the original Hebrew while adapting to the Greek linguistic structure, which may not directly convey the action of fathering as explicitly.
