'Birth' in the Bible

So he took as his wife Gomer, the daughter of Diblaim, and she gave birth to a son.

And after that she gave birth to a daughter. And the Lord said, Give her the name Lo-ruhamah; for I will not again have mercy on Israel, to give them forgiveness.

Now when Lo-ruhamah had been taken from the breast, the woman gave birth to a son.

For fear that I may take away her robe from her, making her uncovered as in the day of her birth; making her like a waste place and a dry land, causing her death through need of water.

For their mother has been untrue; she who gave them birth has done things of shame, for she said, I will go after my lovers, who give me my bread and my water, my wool and my linen, my oil and my wine.

They have been false to the Lord; they have given birth to strange children; now the new moon will make them waste with their fields.

As for Ephraim, their glory will go in flight like a bird: there will be no birth and no one with child and no giving of life.

As I have seen a beast whose young have been taken from her, so Ephraim will give birth to children only for them to be put to death.

O Lord, what will you give them? Give them bodies which may not give birth and breasts without milk.

The rod has come on Ephraim, their root is dry, let them have no fruit; even though they give birth, I will put to death the dearest fruit of their bodies.

The pains of a woman in childbirth will come on him: he is an unwise son, for at this time it is not right for him to keep his place when children come to birth.
