1. generations / genealogical record — The noun תּוֹלֵדוֹת meaning 'generations', 'genealogical account', or 'family history', used as a structural marker in Genesis ('these are the generations of...') and in genealogical lists throughout the Pentateuch and Chronicles. All three clusters share the same core meaning: S144719 (25x, with pronominal suffixes 'their generations'), S144720 (13x, construct 'generations of'), and S144726 (1x, 'according to their births'). Multilingual evidence is uniform: Spanish 'generaciones' throughout, Arabic مواليد (births/generations) consistently, Hindi वंशावली (genealogy/lineage) across all clusters, Korean 족보 / 후손들 (genealogy/descendants), Swahili 'vizazi' (generations) uniformly. The single occurrence in S144726 rendered 'according to their births' is the same word in a comparative prepositional frame, not a distinct lexical sense. 39×
