Bear Beget Born

'''A — 1: γεννάω (Strong'S #1080 — Verb — gennao — ghen-nah'-o )

"to beget," in the Passive Voice, "to be born," is chiefly used of men "begetting" children,  Matthew 1:2-16; more rarely of women "begetting" children,  Luke 1:13,57 , "brought forth" (for "delivered," in this ver., see No. 4);  Luke 23:29;  John 16:21 , "is delivered of," and of the child, "is born" (for "is in travail" see No. 4). In  Galatians 4:24 , it is used allegorically, to contrast Jews under bondage to the Law, and spiritual Israel, Av, "gendereth," Rv, "bearing children," to contrast the natural birth of Ishmael and the supernatural birth of Isaac. In  Matthew 1:20 it is used of conception, "that which is conceived in her." It is used of the act of God in the birth of Christ,   Acts 13:33;  Hebrews 1:5;  5:5 , quoted from  Psalm 2:7 , none of which indicate that Christ became the Son of God at His birth.
