| Morphological Notes | Noun, common, masculine singular, absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The masculine singular absolute noun denotes a male child as one 'built' from the family line, reflecting the root בנה ('to build') in the sense of building a household. 'Son' preserves both the primary lexical meaning and the singular masculine morphology. |
