SON

Sometimes denotes a grandson, or any remote descendant, Genesis 29:5 2 Samuel 19:24. At other times a son by adoption is meant, Genesis 48:5; or by law, Ruth 4:17; or by education, 1 Samuel 3:61 Samuel 1:20; or by conversion, as Titus was Paul’s "son father the common faith," Titus 1:4. And again it denotes a mental or moral resemblance, etc., Judges 19:22 Psalms 89:6 Isaiah 57:3 Acts 13:10. In a similar sense men are sometimes called sons of God, Luke 3:38 Romans 8:14.
