Strong's Lexicon bar: Son, heir, pure, clean Original Word: בַּר Word Origin: Derived from the root word בָּרַר (barar), meaning "to purify" or "to select." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5207 (huios): Often translated as "son" in the New Testament, reflecting a similar concept of lineage and inheritance. - G2513 (katharos): Meaning "clean" or "pure," corresponding to the secondary meaning of "bar." Usage: The Hebrew word "bar" primarily means "son" or "heir," often used in the context of lineage or descent. It can also imply purity or cleanness, reflecting a state of being unblemished or chosen. In some contexts, it is used metaphorically to denote purity or innocence. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, lineage and heritage were of utmost importance, with the "son" being the primary heir to the family name and estate. The concept of purity was also significant, both in a physical and spiritual sense, often associated with ritual cleanliness and moral integrity. The dual meaning of "bar" as both "son" and "pure" reflects the cultural emphasis on the purity of lineage and the moral expectations placed upon heirs.
