White-Place

Rootלבן (l-b-n)
Core Meaningswhite, whiteness, brick, to make bricks, to become white
Semantic RangeA geographical location named for whiteness—possibly chalky soil, pale stone, or brick-making activity; used of a wilderness encampment and a city in Judah.
Conceptual SignificanceAs a place-name rooted in “whiteness,” Libnah may evoke imagery of pale stone or brick (linking to Egypt’s brick-making). Biblically, it appears as a wilderness station and later a Judean city that revolted from Edom’s control, situating it within themes of journey, settlement, and political independence.
Morphological NotesProper noun, feminine singular (HNp). The form likely reflects a feminine ending -ָה, common in place names.
Rendering Rationaleלִבְנָה is a feminine singular proper noun derived from the root לבן (“white”). Rendering it as “White-Place” preserves the root sense of whiteness while reflecting its grammatical form as a singular place-name.
