STRONGS G1078:
γένεσις, -εως, ἡ, (ΓΕΝΩ [Curtius, § 128]), in Greek writings for the first time in Homer, Iliad 14, 201 [cf. 246];
1. source, origin: βίβλος γενέσεώς τινος a book of one's lineage, i. e. in which his ancestry or his progeny are enumerated (equivalent to תּוֹלְדוֹת סֵפֶר, Genesis 5:1, etc.) [Matthew 1:1].
2. used of birth, nativity, in Matthew 1:18 and Luke 1:14, for Rec. γέννησις (ἡμέραι τῆς γενέσεώς μου equivalent to ἀφ’ οὗ ἐγεννήθην, Judith 12:18 cf. 20); πρόσωπον τῆς γενέσεως his native (natural) face, James 1:23.
3. of that which follows origin, viz. existence, life: ὁ τροχὸς τῆς γενέσεως the wheel [cf. English "machinery"] of life, James 3:6 (cf. Grimm on Sap. vii. 5); but others explain it the wheel of human origin which as soon as men are born begins to run, i. e. the course [cf. English "round"] of life.
