Usage: The Hebrew word "ben" primarily means "son" and is used extensively throughout the Old Testament to denote a male offspring. It can also refer to a descendant, member of a group, or a metaphorical son, such as a student or follower. The term is often used in genealogies and to establish lineage, which was crucial in the cultural and religious context of ancient Israel.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of "son" carried significant weight. Sons were seen as the primary heirs and bearers of the family name and legacy. They were responsible for continuing the family line and inheriting property and blessings. The patriarchal structure of Israelite society placed great emphasis on the role of sons in maintaining the covenantal promises given to the forefathers, such as Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
