the White Mountain
| Root | לבן (l-b-n) |
| Core Meanings | white, whiteness, to be white, brightness |
| Semantic Range | The mountain range north of Israel; by extension its forests (especially cedars), its snow, or the northern frontier of the land. |
| Conceptual Significance | Lebanon is renowned for its towering cedars and snow-bright peaks, symbolizing majesty, strength, and abundance. It frequently represents grandeur and natural splendor in biblical poetry and marks an important northern boundary of the promised land. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper noun with prefixed definite article (הַ + לְבָנוֹן). The dagesh in ל reflects assimilation of the article. Treated grammatically as singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name לְבָנוֹן derives from the root לבן, "to be white," referring to the snow-capped peaks of the range. The morphology (HTd/Np) indicates a masculine singular proper noun with the definite article, which is preserved in the rendering as "the White Mountain." |
