Strong's Lexicon ben: Son, descendant, member of a group Original Word: בֵּן Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: ben Pronunciation: ben Phonetic Spelling: (bane) Definition: Son, descendant, member of a group Meaning: a son Word Origin: Derived from the root בָּנָה (banah), meaning "to build" or "to establish." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5207 (υἱός, huios) - Son - G5043 (τέκνον, teknon) - Child, offspring 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 or a member of a particular group or class, such as "sons of Israel" or "sons of the prophets." The term is often used in genealogical contexts to trace lineage and heritage, emphasizing the importance of family and tribal connections in ancient Israelite society. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of "son" extended beyond mere biological offspring to include the idea of carrying on the family name, inheritance, and legacy. Sons were seen as vital to the continuation of the family line and were often responsible for caring for their parents in old age. The patriarchal society placed significant emphasis on the role of sons in maintaining the family's social and economic status. The term "ben" also reflects the broader cultural understanding of identity and belonging within a community or tribe.
