A male child, generally used for a boy or youth—less commonly, a generic term for child regardless of gender. In some contexts, it denotes a son or descendant. Its primary use is to identify one who is young, most often male, and still dependent or under the care of parents. Less often, it denotes children collectively, offspring, or progeny, especially in construct or plural patterns.

SIBI-P1 Translation H3206-16
their born-ones
| Morphological Notes | Masculine plural noun in construct state (יַלְדֵי) + 3rd person feminine plural pronominal suffix (הֶן) = "their" (fem. pl.). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun יֶלֶד derives from ילד, "to bear/beget," and denotes one who is born, typically a male child. The plural construct with a 3rd feminine plural suffix yields "their born-ones," preserving both the birth-root sense and the plural possessive morphology. |
