Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Aramaic, corresponding to the Hebrew בֵּן (ben) Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry is Strong's G993, βηρ (bēr), which is used in the Septuagint and New Testament to convey similar meanings of sonship and descent. The Greek term maintains the emphasis on familial relationships and is often used in genealogical contexts, reflecting the cultural and theological significance of lineage in both the Hebrew and Greek scriptures. Usage: The term בֵּן is used in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament to denote a son, often in the context of lineage or descent. It is a common term used to describe a male offspring or descendant. Context: The Aramaic word בֵּן (ben) appears in the Old Testament primarily in the books of Daniel and Ezra, which contain significant portions of Aramaic text. In these contexts, בֵּן is used similarly to its Hebrew counterpart, referring to a son or male descendant. The term is integral in genealogical records and narratives, emphasizing familial relationships and heritage. For instance, in Daniel 5:22, the term is used in the context of Belshazzar being the son of Nebuchadnezzar: "But you his son, Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, even though you knew all this." (BSB). The use of בֵּן in these texts underscores the importance of lineage and the continuation of family lines in the biblical narrative.
