sons (male offspring)
| Root | υἱός (huios) |
| Core Meanings | son, male offspring, descendant, heir, one who shares the character or status of another |
| Semantic Range | biological 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 Significance | In 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 Notes | Gr,N,,,,,AMP = noun, accusative case, masculine gender, plural number; functioning typically as direct object or object of a preposition. |
| Rendering Rationale | The 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. |
