his son

Rootבר (b-r)
Core Meaningsson, offspring, descendant, one belonging to a class
Semantic Rangeson, grandson, descendant, member of a group, one characterized by a quality ("son of…" idiom)
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical usage, "son" signifies not only biological descent but covenantal continuity, inheritance, and identity within a lineage or community; it marks relational belonging and transmission of status across generations.
Morphological NotesAramaic common masculine singular noun in construct state (בְּרֵי/בְּרֵהּ form) with 3ms pronominal suffix; functions as a bound form meaning "son of" + "him."
Rendering RationaleThe Aramaic noun בַּר (bar) means "son" or "offspring." The form is masculine singular construct with a 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix, yielding "his son," which preserves both the filial sense of the root and the specified grammatical person and number.
