Before reading this short study on 'Bar' I recommend the reader reads the study on Gen 1:1 on this same blog so as to know the background of this study

The Hebrew word 'Ben’ means son and has so many occurrences in Old Testament. Ben is ‘Bet Nun’ where Nun is the sprouting seed of the house, an heir, one who carries on the lineage of the father.
Many refuse to see ‘Bar’ as son just because it is also an Aramaic word for son. The usage of ‘Bar’ is seen by many as only relating to Ezra and Daniel when Yisharal was in Babylonian captivity where they learnt the Ashurit tongue and came out with it.
But when we read Strong’s 1248 the same word has 4 occurrences before the Babylonian captivity. Psalms 2:12 uses the word for the Son i.e. Yahusha
Ps 2:12 Kiss the Son (BAR), lest He shall be angry, and you perish in the way, for His wrath may soon be kindled. Blessed are all who take refuge in Him!
The Paleo Hebrew also has the word 'Bar' used in Psalms 2:12
Judaism refuses to accept the translation as son here because they do not believe in the Son of Alahaym. They translate it as 'pure' because 'bar' also means pure but those who read Psalms 2 can see that the 'Goyim' (heathen) stood against Yahuah and against his anointed. The word 'Goyim' is also translated as 'Gentiles' and refers to all those who are alienated from the Covenant of Alahaym which includes Yahudi's (Jews) from lineage. Hence if the 'Son' here is translated as pure then it would still refer to him because the Pslamist says "....Happy are all they that put their trust in him"
The same word meaning 'son' and 'pure' shows the Son is indeed pure.
Hence ‘Bar’ in Barashaiyth and Bara in Gen 1:1, ‘Bar’ in John 1:1 cannot be ignored.
The remaining 3 instances of ‘bar’ are in Proverbs 31:2 where Lemuel (an unknown king which some say was Shelomoh himself and it was his pet/poetic name) speaks of son whom the mother instructs not to give his strength to women (harlotry) nor his ways to that which destroys kings.
Pr 31:2 What, my son (bar)? and what, the son (bar) of my womb? and what, the son (bar) of my vows? 3 Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings.
The ‘bar’ Son is also in ‘baraq’ which means lightning. 'baraq': Bet Resh Quph
2Sa 22:14 Yahuah thundered from heaven, and the most High uttered his voice.
15 And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning (baraq), and discomfited them.
Luke17:24 “For just like the lightning (baraq), when it flashes out of one part of the sky, shines to the other part of the sky, so shall the Son of Man be in His day.”
‘Baraq’ is the sign pointing to the ‘Ben of Adam’ in HIS DAY.
Pslams 2:7 and verse 12 shows both the 'Ben' and the 'Bar' used for the Son and is prophetic because he is the Mashiyach of the Yahudi and in him will the Goyim (Gentiles) trust.
Matt 4:13 He went out from Nazareth and came and lived in Capernaum, which is on the seashore, at the border of Zebulun and Naphtali.
Matt 4:14 fulfiling what was said by the mouth of YeshaYahu (Isaiah) the prophet saying:
Matt 4:15 The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, the way of the sea, across the Yordan, the Galilee of the Gentiles(goyim);
Matt 4:16 The people walking in darkness saw a great light; to those dwelling in the land of shadow of death, light dawned upon them.
Ps2:7 I shall declare for the statute of Yahuah: He said to Me, You are My Son (BEN), today I have begotten You.
The 'lightning' will flash out of one part of the sky to the other part of the sky-this is again prophetic of Alahaym giving his Son to both the Yahudis (one part of the sky) and to the Gentiles (other part of the sky). He will come in judgment to judge both the Jews and the Gentiles as all are accountable to him.
'Baraq' was also a name of a judge who delivered Yisharal (book of Judges)
Baraq-Bet (house) Resh (first head/leader) Quph (sun on horizon). Put together ‘The house leader on the horizon’
Acts 4:36 And Yoseph, who was surnamed Barnaba by the apostles (which is, being interpreted, the son of Encouragement), the man of the house of Levi which was born in the country of Cyprus,
The apostles surnamed Yoseph bar (son) naba (consolation) which shows that ‘bar’ was also used by Yahudim as a word for son. Barnaba was separated by the Spirit as apostle to the Gentiles (goyim). This can't be coincidence.
Acts 13:2 While they were ministering to Yahuah and fasting, the Ruach Ha Qodesh said, Set apart for Me Barnaba and Shaul for the work to which I have called them.
What we need to keep in mind is the book of Pslams and Proverbs where this word is used was before the Babylonian captivity and hence Strongs is wrong to say that it is solely an Aramaic word, it’s used in both languages Hebrew as well as in Aramaic and is prophetic.
‘Bar’ in Barak which means ‘Bless’. ‘Barak’ : Bet (house) Resh (first head/leader) Kaph (open). ‘The house leader opens’
Gen 1:22 Alahym blessed (barak) them, saying, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let the birds multiply on the earth.
If one removes the ‘Bar’ from ‘Barak’ he is left with ‘rak’ which means weak/faint.
Gen 33:13 But he said to him, My master knows that the children are frail (rak) and that the flocks and herds which are nursing are a care to me. And if they are driven hard one day, all the flocks will die.
Deut20:8 Then the officers shall speak further to the people and say, Who is the man that is afraid and faint (rak)-hearted? Let him depart and return to his house, so that he might not make his brother’s hearts melt like his heart.
Covenant: Barayth
Gen 6:18 But I shall establish My covenant (Barayth ) with you (Noah); and you shall enter into the ark you and your sons and your wife, and your sons wives with you.
Barayth: Bet(house) Resh(first head/leader) Yod (hand) Tau (sign) : Bar (son) Yod Tau (hand mark)
Put together ‘The sons mark of the hand’
Mt 24:38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son (Ben) of man (Adam) be.
The covenant (barayth) Yahuah made with Noah would be established with his elect and is related to his coming in judgment as in the days of Noah. The ‘Bar’ points to the ‘Ben of Adam’ who is going to come to execute vengeance on both Jews and Gentiles but will remember the covenant made with Noah.
Gen 17:2 I shall establish My covenant (Barayth) between Me and you (Abraham), and I shall multiply you very greatly.
Gal3:16 Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He does not say, And to seeds, as of many, but as to one, and to your seed, that is, the Mashiyach.
Gal3:17 And this I say, that the sons mark of the hand (covenant :barayth), that was confirmed before of Alahaym, the Turah, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect
The sons of faith are sons of Abraham and are the promised ones as Itzack (Issac) was.
Gal3:13 the Mashiyach redeemed us from the curse of the Turah, having become a curse for us for it is written, Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree
Gal3:14 in order that in the Mashiyach Yahusha the blessing (Barak) of Abraham might come to the Gentiles (goyim), so that we would receive the promise of the Ruach through faith.
The 'Bar' in the 'Barak' which was given to Abraham would come to the gentiles (goyim).
Barayah: Bet (house) Resh (first head/leader) –Bar (Son) Yod (hand) Aleph (strong) Hay (behold)
‘The Sons hand strong behold’
This word has only one occurrence in Numbers 16:30 in relation to recompensing judgment of Yah on Korah and his company who rebelled against Mosheh.
Nu 16:30 But Yahuah make (bara) a new thing (barayah), and the earth open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain unto them, and they go down quick into the pit; then ye shall understand that these men have provoked Yahuah.
Lastly Strong’s removes the ‘bar’ and presents Gen 1:1 as ‘reshith’. So with this evidence in hand we cannot say Bar is just an Aramaic word, the usage in the Hebrew shows the Bar as the Son and points to our Mashiyach.
