SIBI-P1 H1649-01

the Driven-out clansman

Morphological NotesDefinite article (הַ) + gentilic noun, masculine singular absolute; denotes a male member of the Gershonite clan.
Rendering RationaleThe noun is a masculine singular gentilic with the definite article ("the"), denoting a single male member of the clan descended from Gershon. By rendering Gershon in light of the root גרש ("to drive out, expel"), "Driven-out clansman" preserves the underlying root sense while accurately reflecting the masculine singular form.
