New King James Version, Heb 11:
BDAG μονογενής:
English Standard Version did away with the word "begotten":
See also For God so loved the world, that he gave his only BEGOTTEN Son.
G3439 conveys a sense of uniqueness and not necessarily begottenness.17 By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises offered up his only begotten [G3439] son.
BDAG μονογενής:
Abraham had begotten Ishmael as well. Isaac wasn't his only begotten son.② pert. to being the only one of its kind or class, unique (in kind) of someth. that is the only example of its category.
English Standard Version did away with the word "begotten":
I think ESV translation here is better.By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was in the act of offering up his only son.
