This concept is significant in understanding the social and religious dynamics of ancient Israelite society, where lineage and heritage played crucial roles. Biblical References: 1. <a href="/genesis/14-14.htm">Genesis 14:14</a> : "And when Abram heard that his relative had been captured, he mobilized the 318 trained men born in his household, and they set out in pursuit as far as Dan." In this passage, the "trained men born in his household" refers to those who were home-born, indicating a group of individuals who were part of Abram's extended family and household. These men were likely born into servitude but were considered loyal and integral members of Abram's community. 2. <a href="/genesis/17-12.htm">Genesis 17:12-13</a> : "Throughout your generations, every male among you must be circumcised at eight days old, including those born in your household or bought with money from a foreigner—those who are not your offspring. Whether born in your household or bought with your money, they must be circumcised. My covenant in your flesh will be an everlasting covenant." Here, the distinction between those "born in your household" and those "bought with money" underscores the inclusivity of the Abrahamic covenant, extending its sign, circumcision, to all males within the household, regardless of their origin. 3. <a href="/exodus/12-44.htm">Exodus 12:44</a> : "But any slave who has been purchased may eat of it, after you have circumcised him." While this verse does not directly mention "home-born," it highlights the integration of non-home-born individuals into the religious practices of Israel through circumcision, similar to those born within the household. Cultural and Religious Significance: In ancient Israel, being home-born carried implications of belonging and identity. Home-born individuals were often seen as more closely tied to the family and its traditions, having been raised within the cultural and religious framework of the household. This status could affect one's role and responsibilities within the community. The concept of being home-born also extends to the spiritual realm, where it can symbolize those who are naturally part of God's covenant people. In the New Testament, this idea is expanded to include all believers as members of God's household, regardless of their ethnic or cultural background, through faith in Jesus Christ. Theological Implications: From a theological perspective, the notion of being home-born can be seen as a precursor to the New Testament teaching of spiritual rebirth. Just as home-born individuals were naturally part of the household, believers are considered born again into the family of God. This spiritual birth transcends physical lineage, emphasizing faith and the work of the Holy Spirit in bringing individuals into God's covenant community. In summary, the term "home-born" in the Bible highlights themes of belonging, covenant inclusion, and spiritual identity, reflecting the broader biblical narrative of God's desire to create a people for Himself, united by faith and covenant rather than mere physical descent.<a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div>HOME-BORNhom'-born ('ezrach): A native-born Hebrew, as contrasted with a foreigner of different blood.
