The Key Word — בֵּן, liv.Neigenerated
The word בֵּן (ben) means 'son' or 'male child' and signifies a descendant. It can refer to a grandson, a member of a tribe, or even figurative uses like qualities or characteristics. Its usage in this verse emphasizes the familial relationships and inheritance within the tribe of Simeon.
This term is derived from a root meaning 'to build,' indicating a connection to family or lineage. It is used extensively in genealogical contexts throughout the Old Testament, highlighting the significance of ancestry.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against. The BSB uses male for זָכָ֗ר, which is also used in the KJV, ASV, and several others.
Where others part company with the BSB, they offer man (ULB) instead of male. This reflects a slight variation in how the translations interpret the gendered term.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main clause is introduced by the phrase לִבְנֵ֣י שִׁמְע֔וֹן, from the sons of Simeon, which sets the subject of the census. This is followed by a series of prepositional phrases that provide details about the genealogical records and the counting process.
The structure indicates a detailed enumeration process, emphasizing the careful counting of each male eligible for military service, which reflects the organized approach to the census.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
In the Septuagint, the Hebrew term בֵּן is translated as υἱοῖς (huiois), which also means 'sons' or 'children.' This choice maintains the familial aspect of the term, emphasizing the lineage of the tribe.
The translation choice shows a direct correspondence to the Hebrew meaning, ensuring that the concept of descent and family ties is preserved in the Greek rendering.

The Masoretic Text is supported by the Septuagint, which matches 14 of the 19 words. The Samaritan Pentateuch differs in three words, using משׁפחותם (clan), אבותם (father), and פקדיהם (miss). The Dead Sea Scrolls fragment has 8 words of the verse, with some parts restored and others supplied by an editor.

Prep | N-mp — Preposition · noun common masculine plural constructHR/Ncmpc
ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.
I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered to you. 1 Corinthians 11:1.

Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…

Simeon
Hearing. (1.) The second son of Jacob by Leah (Gen. 29:33). He was associated with Levi in the terrible act of vengeance against Hamor and the Shechemites (34:25, 26). He was detained by Joseph in Egypt as a hostage (42:24). His father, when dying, pronounced a malediction against him (49:5-7). The words in the Authorized Version (49:6), “they digged down a wall,” ought to be, as correctly rendered in the Revised Version, “they houghed an ox.”
(2.) An aged saint who visited the temple when Jesus was being presented before the Lord, and uttered lofty words of thankgiving and of prophecy (Luke 2:29-35).
(3.) One of the ancestors of Joseph (Luke 3:30).

His birth is recorded in (Genesis 29:33) The first group of Jacob’s children consists, besides Simeon, of the three other sons of Leah --Reuben, Levi, Judah. Besides the massacre of Shechem, (Genesis 34:25) the only personal incident related of Simeon is the fact of his being selected by Joseph as the hostage for the appearance of Benjamin.

Some have thought he was more guilty than his brethren in the treatment of Joseph, Ge 37:20 42:24 43:23; but he may have been detained as a hostage because he was one of the eldest sons. The tribes of Simeon and Levi were scattered and dispersed in Israel, in conformity with the prediction of Jacob, on account of their sacrilegious and piratical revenge of the outrage committed against Dinah their sister, Ge 34:1-31 49:5.
