Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root בָּרַר (barar), meaning "to purify" or "to select."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G3809 (παιδεία, paideia): While not a direct translation, this Greek term relates to the concept of training or instruction, often associated with the upbringing of a son or heir. Usage: The word "bar" is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a son or heir, often in a metaphorical sense. It is also used in Aramaic portions of the Old Testament to denote a son. The term can imply a sense of purity or selection, as seen in its root meaning. Context: The Hebrew term בַּר (bar) appears in various contexts within the Old Testament, often carrying the connotation of "son" or "heir." This term is notably used in poetic and wisdom literature, such as in Proverbs and Psalms, to convey the idea of a chosen or noble son. For instance, in Psalm 2:12, the term is used in the phrase "Kiss the Son," which is interpreted as a call to honor and submit to the anointed king, understood as a messianic figure. The use of "bar" in this context emphasizes the relationship between the divine and the royal heir, highlighting themes of authority and inheritance. Additionally, in Aramaic sections of the Bible, such as in the book of Daniel, "bar" is used in a straightforward manner to denote a son, as seen in Daniel 3:25, where it describes the appearance of a divine figure in the fiery furnace. The term's association with purity and selection is also reflected in its root, suggesting a sense of being set apart or chosen, which aligns with its use in describing heirs or sons of significance.
