my son
A male child with particular emphasis on the relationship to parents, especially as 'son' in both literal and metaphorical senses. In specific contexts, especially in Aramaic-influenced books, refers to 'son' as descendant or member of a family line, sometimes signifies an 'heir' or one designated successor. In poetic or wisdom literature, can denote moral quality ('pure, clean') as a secondary sense based on alternate root connection.
