SIBI-P1 H6956-01
the Qehathite clansman
| Root | קהת (q-h-t) |
| Core Meanings | assembly, gathered clan, congregational line |
| Semantic Range | A male descendant of Qehath; a member of the Kohathite division of the Levites; collectively, the Kohathite clan when used generically. |
| Conceptual Significance | The Qehathites were one of the principal Levitical families entrusted with carrying the most sacred furnishings of the Tabernacle. Their designation underscores ordered service, inherited sacred duty, and covenantal continuity within Israel’s priestly structure. |
| Morphological Notes | Definite article (הַ) prefixed to a gentilic noun (Ngmsa): masculine singular absolute form derived from the proper name קְהָת (Qehath/Kohath). Functions as a clan designation. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a masculine singular gentilic noun with the definite article ("the"), denoting a single male member of the line of Qehath. "Qehathite clansman" preserves the patronymic sense (descendant of Qehath) while reflecting the masculine singular morphology and the communal nuance associated with the root. |
