'''Son''' is another word for '''seed''', or offspring.  In the Eastern cultures, sons and servants were placed under the direction of tutors.  If a son demonstrated the ability to manage the affairs of the father, he would join his father upon the approval of the tutor in a process called 'adoption'.  If the son was not competent (or yet too young), the affairs of the inheritance passed to the servant until the time that the son was able to posess all things.  The office of a son therefore includes responsibility, demonstration, and inheritance.
