SIBI-P1 H3846-01
the White-clansman
| Root | לבן (l-b-n) |
| Core Meanings | whiteness, to be white, brightness, brick-making (whitening clay) |
| Semantic Range | a Libnite; a male descendant of Libni; a member of a Levitical clan associated with the name derived from "white" |
| Conceptual Significance | The Libnites were a Levitical clan descending from Gershon. The name’s connection to "whiteness" may evoke ideas of purity or distinction, and it situates the bearer within Israel’s priestly genealogical structure. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun, gentilic masculine singular absolute with prefixed definite article (הַ). Denotes a male member of a clan descended from Libni. |
| Rendering Rationale | The term is a masculine singular gentilic with the definite article, referring to a single male member of the Libnite clan. Rendering it as "the White-clansman" preserves the connection to the root ל־ב־ן ("white") while accurately reflecting the masculine singular form indicated by the morphology. |
