To betroth (μνηστεύω mnesteuō)

Now the procreation of the Christ occurred in this way. After His Mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they lived together, She was found to have conceived in Her womb by the Holy Spirit. (Mt 1:18)

Τοῦ δὲ Ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ ἡ γένεσις οὕτως ἦν. μνηστευθείσης τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ Μαρίας τῷ Ἰωσήφ, πρὶν ἢ συνελθεῖν αὐτοὺς εὑρέθη ἐν γαστρὶ ἔχουσα ἐκ πνεύματος ἁγίου.

Christi autem generatio sic erat: cum esset desponsata mater ejus Maria Joseph, antequam convenirent inventa est in utero habens de Spiritu Sancto.
