John 1:14

Καὶ ὁ λόγος σὰρξ ἐγένετο, καὶ ἐσκήνωσεν ἐν ἡμῖν—καὶ ἐθεασάμεθα τὴν δόξαν αὐτοῦ, δόξαν ὡς μονογενοῦς παρὰ πατρός—πλήρης χάριτος καὶ ἀληθείας.

RBT Translation:

An only begotten, Chosen from an only begotten Mother (of Life)

And the Logos/Word became a flesh and she pitched a tent within ourselves, and we looked upon the Glory of Himself, a glory even as an only-begotten one²³ from close beside a father, satiated/fully satisfied of a gracious one and a true one.

At Last, Flesh of my Flesh!

Wreathed/Joined Ones (Levite Priests): a man sent out from "himself", to search for "himself."

"And I heard a mega voice from out of the Throne, she who is saying, "Behold! the Tabernacle/Tent of the God in company with the Men! And she will tent in company with themselves!"

(Revelation 21:3 RBT)

Julia Smith Literal 1876 Translation:
And the Word was flesh, and dwelt with us, (and we beheld his glory, as the glory of the only born of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

LITV Translation:
And the Word became flesh and tabernacled among us. And we beheld His glory, glory as of an only begotten from the Father, full of grace and of truth.

Strong’s #G3439, monogenés. monogenḗs (from /misthōtós, “one-and-only” and /génos, “offspring, stock”) – (the only of its kind). – Helps Word Studies.

The Greek adjective μονογενής (μονογενὴς in its nominative singular form) is a compound formed from:

• μόνος (“only, sole, single”)

• γένος (“kind, race, offspring, birth”)

Together, μονογενής literally means “only-genus” or “only race/kind.”

Adjective + nominative noun. It is a compound adjective, describing something as unique in its kind, not necessarily emphasizing numerical birth. μονογενής can mean “unique, of a single kind, only one of its kind,” without implying a chronological birth. It is important to understand that μονογενής does not inherently mean “only one born”. The “begotten” nuance is interpretive, not literal in the Greek compound.

Peter speaks of a chosen race [genos] (1 Pet. 2:9), Jesus speaks fish of every race [genos] (Matt. 13:47), the woman who was Greek Syrophoenician race [genos] (Mark 7:26).
