II. בַּר see ברר. Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Aramaic, corresponding to the Hebrew בֵּן (ben)Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek term is υἱός (huios), Strong's Greek Number G5207, which also means "son." This Greek term is widely used in the New Testament to denote a son, both in a literal and metaphorical sense, such as in the phrase "Son of God" referring to Jesus Christ. The parallel between בַּר and υἱός highlights the thematic continuity of familial and divine relationships across the biblical canon. Usage: The term בַּר is used in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament to denote a son or descendant. It is often used in genealogical contexts or to signify a relationship of lineage. Context: The Aramaic word בַּר (bar) appears in the Old Testament primarily in the books of Daniel and Ezra, which contain significant portions of Aramaic text. In these contexts, בַּר is used similarly to its Hebrew counterpart בֵּן (ben), indicating a male descendant or offspring. For example, in Daniel 3:25, the term is used in the phrase "the son of the gods," highlighting its use in describing a divine or exalted figure. The use of בַּר in Aramaic texts reflects the linguistic and cultural influences present during the periods of Babylonian and Persian dominance, when Aramaic served as a lingua franca across the Near East. The term is also found in the context of wisdom literature, as seen in Proverbs 31:2, where it is used in a poetic address. The use of בַּר in these texts underscores the continuity and adaptation of Semitic languages in the biblical narrative.
