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.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>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.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/1121.htm">ben</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>son<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>age* (1), son (7).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> I. <font class="hebrew2">בַּר</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>son</b></font> (<font class="hebrew2">ᵑ7</font> <em>id.</em>; Syriac <img src="/bdbgif/bdb108504.gif">, Mandean <font class="hebrew2">ברא</font> Nö<sup>M § 148</sup>, Old Aramaic, Nabataean, Palmyrene <font class="hebrew2">בר</font> (and <font class="hebrew2">בן</font>) Lzb<sup>242f.</sup>; Sabean <font class="hebrew2">בר</font> according to Mordtm<sup>VOJ x. 154 f.</sup>; = <font class="hebrew2">בֵּן</font>, = becoming <font class="hebrew2">ר</font>, Philippi<sup>ZMG xxxii (1878), 36 ff.</sup> Brock<sup>Syr.
