Matti 3:9
#1
Is there a wordplay in matti 3:9 between sons and stones?

There's only 1 possibility I see for this, though doubtful: an implied wordplay between sons and buildings, since one may raise up (erect) a building using stones. Though the word for building/buildings benyana/benyane, and the word for son here is bnaya. Elliptically the implied word 'building' could be understood as house. So as unlikely that it is, one could finagle out of this, "Elohim is able from these stones to raise a house to Avraham." Very unlikely, but I hope it answers the question.
