Son of Man
בֶּן־אָדָם / בַּר אֱנָשׁ
The Son of Man — Yeshua's own favorite self-title, drawn from Daniel's night vision of one riding the clouds to the Ancient of Days.
Deliberately double: in Ezekiel it means simply 'human being'; in Daniel it names a heavenly figure enthroned beside God. Yeshua chose the title that holds both — fully the human one, fully the cloud-rider — and used it more than any other name for Himself.
First occurrence
Dan 7:13 — 'One like a bar enash coming with the clouds of heaven'
Key passages
Mark 14:62 — At trial: 'You will see the Son of Man coming with the clouds' — the claim that sealed the verdict
Mark 10:45 — 'The Son of Man came to serve, and to give His life a ransom'
Ezek 2:1 — Ben-adam — God's constant address to Ezekiel: the human one
In the Greek Scriptures
ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου
