I just checked my copy of Lisowski's concordance (which lists common
verbs according to Qal, Niphal, etc.), and already in Genesis 4, even
in the context of bringing forth children, the fathers were listed as
bringing forth sons. Again in chapter 6. In a quick spot check of a
few of over 200 occurrences in Qal brought out a few examples of use
other than giving birth, e.g. "what the day will bring forth" in
Proverbs.
