from the family-builders of

Rootבנה (b-n-h)
Core Meaningsto build, construct, establish, son (as family builder)
Semantic RangeLiteral: sons, children, descendants; figurative: members of a group/nation, followers, builders of quality/condition (e.g., sons of valor, tumult); extended to animals (young), branches, or abstract relations.
Conceptual SignificanceEmphasizes patrilineal continuity and covenantal identity in Israelite culture; sons as 'builders' symbolize perpetuating God's promises through generations, underscoring themes of inheritance, tribal affiliation, and spiritual lineage in the biblical narrative.
Morphological NotesHR/Ncmpc: Hebrew Relative preposition (מִ/בְּ) + Noun common masculine plural construct (בְּנֵי); construct state indicates possession or relation, often 'sons of X'.
Rendering RationaleThe rendering 'family-builders' reflects the root בנה (to build), evoking sons as builders of the family name and lineage, preserving the wide semantic field of בן beyond mere 'sons'; 'mibbeney' is a masculine common plural construct form (HR/Ncmpc) with preposition מִ/בְּ, thus 'from the ... of' maintains the partitive/genitive structure and masculine plural morphology without altering gender or number.
