SIBI-P1 H6397-01

the separated-one

Rootפלה (p-l-h)
Core Meaningsto separate, distinguish, set apart, make distinct
Semantic RangeA member of a distinct or separate clan; an inhabitant of an otherwise unknown locality; a proper designation ("Pelonite"); possibly conveying the idea of distinctness or separateness.
Conceptual SignificanceThe designation marks an individual as belonging to a particular, distinct lineage or group, underscoring identity through separation or distinction—an important social marker within Israel’s tribal and clan-based structure.
Morphological NotesDefinite article (הַ) prefixed to a masculine singular gentilic noun in the absolute state; functioning substantivally to denote a specific individual identified by clan or origin.
Rendering RationaleThe term is a masculine singular gentilic noun with the definite article ("the") attached. Rendering it as "the separated-one" preserves the likely root sense of פלה (to distinguish or set apart) while accurately reflecting the masculine singular form indicated by the morphology.
