to your son

Rootבנה (b-n-h)
Core Meaningsbuild, construct, beget, establish
Semantic RangeSon (literal), child, descendant, member of a group/nation, figurative for quality/condition (e.g., son of strength, son of tumult); extended to grandson, subject, arrow, branch, youth, etc.
Conceptual SignificanceEmphasizes patrilineal inheritance and family-building from root בנה, symbolizing continuity of covenant, name, and legacy in Israelite culture; often denotes relational identity with God (e.g., 'sons of Israel') or prophetic metaphors for restoration.
Morphological NotesHR/Ncmsc/Sp2ms: Hebrew Root noun, common masculine singular construct state, with 2nd person masculine singular pronominal suffix; surfaces as לְבִנְךָ.
Rendering RationaleThe form לְבִנְךָ is a preposition + construct noun 'son' (HR/Ncmsc/Sp2ms), literally 'to/for son-your' (masculine singular with 2nd person masculine singular suffix), commonly rendered 'to your son' to preserve the direct familial relationship implied by the root בנה ('to build' the family). This maintains grammatical gender (masculine), number (singular), person (2ms suffix 'your'), and the relational nuance without alteration.
