Connection with the account headings of Genesis
The Hebrew word behind "account" is toledot (H8435), from yalad, to give birth: literally the begettings, what came out of a man. Genesis uses it to open its main sections, from "This is the account of the heavens and the earth" (Genesis 2:4) to this one.
