( masc., בן / ben) Translation: SON Definition: A male offspring. This can be the son or a later male descendant of the father. One who continues the family line. Relationship to Root: There are many similarities between building a tent out of goat hair panels and the building of a house out of sons (The idea of building a house with sons can be seen in Genesis 30.3). Just as the tent panels are added to continue the tent, sons are born to the family to continue the family line. Just as the tent is continually being renewed with new panels, the family is continually being renewed with new sons. KJV Translations: son, children, old, first, man, young, stranger, people Strong's Hebrew #: h.1121, h.1248 Aramaic Spelling: בר Strong's Aramaic #: a.1123, a.1247
