their sons (family-builders)

Rootבנה (b-n-h)
Core Meaningsbuild, establish, construct, produce offspring, continue a household
Semantic Rangeson, male child, descendant, member of a group, subject, one characterized by a quality
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical thought, a "son" is not only a biological offspring but a builder and continuer of the household and covenant line. The term carries themes of lineage, inheritance, and the perpetuation of identity within Israel and among the nations.
Morphological NotesAramaic common masculine plural noun in construct form (בְּנֵי) with 3rd masculine plural suffix (-הוֹן), literally "sons of them." Occurs once in this form.
Rendering RationaleThe noun בֵּן (Aramaic בְּנֵי in construct plural) derives from the root בנה, "to build," reflecting the idea of a son as one who builds up the family line. The form is masculine plural construct with a 3rd masculine plural pronominal suffix ("-הוֹן"), yielding "their sons," which preserves both the masculine plural number and the possessive relationship.
