Matthew 1:18

Discovered in a Belly

Greek ἐκ πνεύματος ἁγίου. from out of a spirit of a holy one. There is no definite article "the" present in this text, therefore capitalizing the words or adding "the" to the text is less than accurate. ἁγίου which is also translated as "saint" is in the genitive case.

Greek hagios. #G40. set-apart, different, holy, sacred. Used in the Septuagint for the Hebrew qadosh which means “set-apart, holy”.

“The fundamental (core) meaning of 40 (hágios) is “different” – thus a temple in the 1st century was hagios (“holy”)

ἐν γαστρὶ within a belly. Strongs #1064 γαστήρ (gastér) a word from which we get all the gastro- words. The significance of this word lies in the fact that there exists a more common word for "womb" #3388 métra.
