SIBI-P1 H3841-02
White-Place
| Root | לבן (l-b-n) |
| Core Meanings | white, whiteness, brick, to make bricks, to become white |
| Semantic Range | A 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 Significance | As 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 Notes | Proper noun, feminine singular (HNp). The form likely reflects a feminine ending -ָה, common in place names. |
| Rendering Rationale | לִבְנָה 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. |
