Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The concept of an heir in the Greek New Testament is often represented by the word κληρονόμος (kleronomos), Strong's Greek Number 2818. This term similarly denotes one who receives an inheritance or is designated to carry on a legacy, reflecting the continuity of the biblical theme of inheritance from the Hebrew Scriptures to the New Testament.

Usage: The word מָנוֹן is used in the context of inheritance and lineage, emphasizing the role of an heir in continuing the family line or legacy.

Context: • The concept of מָנוֹן is deeply rooted in the ancient Hebrew understanding of family and inheritance. In biblical times, the continuation of a family line was of utmost importance, and the heir played a crucial role in this process. The heir was responsible for maintaining the family's name, property, and legacy, ensuring that the lineage did not die out.
• The role of the מָנוֹן is often associated with the firstborn son, who traditionally received a double portion of the inheritance and the responsibility to lead the family. However, the concept can also extend to any designated heir, whether by birthright or by special appointment.
• The importance of an heir is underscored in various biblical narratives, where the lack of an heir or the designation of an unexpected heir leads to significant familial and societal implications. The role of the מָנוֹן is not merely a legal or economic function but also carries spiritual and covenantal significance, as seen in the promises made to the patriarchs regarding their descendants.
