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.
