his son

Rootבנה (b-n-h)
Core Meaningsto build, to construct, to establish, to create a structure or family line
Semantic RangeSon (literal offspring), grandson, descendant, subject, member of a nation or group, one of a particular quality or condition (e.g., 'son of perdition'), builder of family legacy, heir, young male of various species (colt, calf, lamb)
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical thought, a son represents not merely biological offspring but the continuation and building of the family name, covenant line, and social structure. The root connection to בנה (build) emphasizes the son's role as one who perpetuates and constructs the future of his household and people. This word carries profound theological weight in genealogies, covenant promises, and the establishment of dynasties.
Morphological NotesHNcmsc/Sp3ms: Hebrew Noun, masculine singular, construct state, with third-person masculine singular possessive suffix (וֹ = 'his'). The construct form indicates the noun is bound to a possessor. The suffix וֹ attaches directly, with the final nun of the plural form dropped in construct.
Rendering RationaleThe morphology HNcmsc/Sp3ms indicates a masculine singular construct noun with a third-person masculine singular possessive suffix, yielding 'his son.' The root בנה (to build) underlies בֵּן, as a son is fundamentally one who builds up the family name and lineage. This rendering preserves both the constructive semantic origin and the grammatical relationship (possession by a male third party).
