The analysis reads the King James wording.
King James Version The King James Version, first published in 1611. Selah Verse shows the standard text.
THE KEY
The Hebrew word for “sons” carries a building image: a people takes shape through each named generation.
THE MEANING
This verse places each name within an inherited relationship: Michah is named among Uzziel’s sons, and Shamir among Michah’s. The word for “sons” resonates with building, so lineage appears as a people taking shape through named links.
THE ROOT
לִבְנֵי
livnei
GROWS FROM
בנה
Build, construct.
לִבְנֵי contains בְּנֵי (benei, sons of), a word traditionally linked to בנה (banah, build). That connection lets the verse’s lineage carry an image of a people being built through named relationships.
ALSO GROWS
binyah: Building, construction.
בְּנִיָּה
This noun from בנה names the act of building, echoing how the verse presents a lineage taking shape.
mivneh: Structure, building.
מִבְנֶה
This word from the same root names what has been built, giving the chain of names the resonance of a structure formed link by link.
THE PATTERN
A community takes shape and persists through named links from one generation to the next.
And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren;THE THREAD
And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:Genesis uses the same Hebrew son-word, בֵּן (ben, son), found in the family of בְּנֵי (benei, sons of) here. Its traditional link to בנה (banah, build) lets both verses show lineage as a people taking shape through named relations.
