It can also refer to "field" or "grain," indicating a connection to agriculture and sustenance. The term is used to denote purity or cleanness in some contexts, reflecting its root meaning. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, lineage and heritage were of utmost importance, with the "son" being the primary heir to the family name and property.
