    • if mary gave birth to yhwh and she said, “today i have begotten thee”

      then is it a surprise that yhwh uses “yaldika” in psalm saying “this day i have begotten thee…”

      quote:
      In Biblical Hebrew the Qal form of the verb w/y-l-d means both “give birth to” (of a woman) and “beget” (of a man). This is true regardless of whether the subject is a divine or a mortal being. You can convince yourself of this by looking at any of the genealogical lists, for example Gen. 11:10 sqq.

      quote:
      psalm 2:7

      in arabic

      أنا اليوم ولدتك = “I begot you today”.

      Theology won’t change the meaning of this phrase.
