<p> ''''' bûrth ''''' ( γένεσις , <i> ''''' génesis ''''' </i> ): </p> <p> (1) It was said by the angel beforehand of John the Baptist, "Many shall rejoice at his <i> birth </i> "; and when he was born [[Elisabeth]] said, "Thus hath the Lord done unto me ... to take away my reproach among men" (&nbsp;Luke 1:14 , &nbsp;Luke 1:25 ). Among the ancient Hebrews barrenness was a "reproach" and the birth of a child, of a son especially, an occasion for rejoicing. </p> <p> (2) This, no doubt, was due in part to the Messianic hope inspired and sustained by prophecy (see &nbsp;Genesis 3:15 , where it was foretold that the seed of the woman should bruise the serpent's head; and subsequent prophecies too numerous to mention). Cases in point worth studying are found in &nbsp;Genesis 4:1 , where [[Eve]] rejoices over the birth of her firstborn and cries, "I have gotten a man with the help of Yahweh"; and &nbsp;1 Samuel 1:20 , where [[Hannah]] exults over her firstborn, calling his name "Samuel," "because," she says, "I have asked him of Yahweh." </p> <p> (3) The marvelous passage in &nbsp;Isaiah 7:14 , "Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel," must have intensified the longing and hope of every devout [[Jewish]] maiden to be a mother, if mayhap, under God, she might be the mother of [[Messiah]] - <i> Immanuel! </i> (Compare &nbsp; Matthew 1:22 , &nbsp;Matthew 1:23; &nbsp;Luke 1:13 f.) See [[Jesus Christ]]; [[Virgin Birth]] . </p>
