In the Levitical genealogy of 1 Chronicles 24, this word creates an interpretive puzzle. The Hebrew reads literally 'his son,' but some ancient and modern versions treat it as a proper name 'Beno.' The preferred interpretation takes it as a possessive ('his son'), referring to Jaaziah's son among the descendants of Merari. This demonstrates how genealogical lists sometimes compressed information, requiring readers to parse pronouns and relationships carefully.
