ya.lid identifies a male as belonging by birth to a household or to a named ancestral group.

The term marks a male identified through birth in relation to a household or named group: those within Abraham’s house, a priest’s house, and Israel’s status are described this way, while other verses apply the same relationship to Rephaim or Anak.

   The construct noun identifies males by the household or group to which their birth connects them. In Genesis 17:23 the APB renders Abraham taking “all those born in his house” alongside those bought with silver; in 2 Samuel 21:16 and Joshua 15:14, the clause instead places the persons among the descendants of Rapha or identifies them as born of Anak.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the household use with phrases such as “born in your house” and “those born in his house.” In group descriptions it uses “descendants of Rapha,” “born of Anak,” or “sons of Anak”; These are presentations of the surrounding clauses rather than fixed translations of the term.
