SIBI-P1 H1247-01
his son
| Root | בר (b-r) |
| Core Meanings | son, offspring, descendant, one belonging to a class |
| Semantic Range | son, grandson, descendant, member of a group, one characterized by a quality ("son of…" idiom) |
| Conceptual Significance | In 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 Notes | Aramaic common masculine singular noun in construct state (בְּרֵי/בְּרֵהּ form) with 3ms pronominal suffix; functions as a bound form meaning "son of" + "him." |
| Rendering Rationale | The 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. |
