sons (male offspring)

Rootυἱός (huios)
Core Meaningsson, male offspring, descendant, heir, one who shares the character or status of another
Semantic Rangebiological sons, male descendants, heirs, members of a group defined by a patriarch, disciples, or those who share qualities or covenant status (e.g., "sons of the kingdom," "sons of light").
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical usage, υἱός often conveys not only physical descent but covenant identity, inheritance rights, and representation of a father’s character. The plural frequently marks corporate identity—such as the sons of Israel or sons of God—emphasizing belonging, continuity, and shared status within God’s redemptive purposes.
Morphological NotesGr,N,,,,,AMP = noun, accusative case, masculine gender, plural number; functioning typically as direct object or object of a preposition.
Rendering RationaleThe form υἱούς is accusative masculine plural, denoting multiple male offspring as the direct object of a verb or object of a preposition. The rendering "sons (male offspring)" preserves the core filial meaning of υἱός while reflecting its masculine plural sense in this inflected form.
