SIBI-P1 H1123-02
their sons (family-builders)
| Root | בנה (b-n-h) |
| Core Meanings | build, establish, construct, produce offspring, continue a household |
| Semantic Range | son, male child, descendant, member of a group, subject, one characterized by a quality |
| Conceptual Significance | In 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 Notes | Aramaic common masculine plural noun in construct form (בְּנֵי) with 3rd masculine plural suffix (-הוֹן), literally "sons of them." Occurs once in this form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The 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. |
