And moreover, any place where the noun בן or בנים (son/sons) comes, it will always be precise that it is a child, unless it is in a place where logic dictates that it comes in its broad meaning.

And when the noun בן or בת comes in construct state with another noun, it sometimes has a different meaning, like בן חיל (hero), בת חיל (heroine), בת בליעל (wicked woman). Therefore, it needs to be written בת איש כהן (And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the harlot, she profanes her father: she shall be burnt with fire)⁵⁸⁴; if it had written בת כהן, one could make a mistake and think that she herself has some portion in the priesthood unless she profanes herself.
