Beno in the Bible — Hidden Meaning & Symbolism

his son. A Levite, son of Jaaziah, and descended from Merari (I Chron. 24:27). Meta. An idea of love (a Levite) that is working in man to bring about a realization of his divine sonship (his son). As yet, however, the individual has not made -conscious union with this love idea or claimed his sonship. The inner forces of Spirit are working, though, to bring about the acknowledgment and consciousness of the truth of man's being. (Jaaziah, father of Beno, means Jah will determine, or Jah will strengthen.) Before he understands and realizes the fact of his divine sonship, man often has bitter experiences and is not centered in the poise, peace, and abidingness of Spirit. (Merari, the name of the Levite chief from whom Beno was descended, means bitter, unhappy)
