Subjects in this Topic:
LIBNI.—The eldest son of Gershon, that is to say, the eponym of a principal family of Gershonite Levites, Exo_6:17, Num_3:18, 1Ch_6:17; 1Ch_6:20. In 1Ch_6:29 [Heb. 14], perhaps owing to some dislocation of the text, the name appears as that of the eponym of a family of Merarites. The patronymic Libnites occurs in Num_3:21; Num_26:58. Cf. Ladan.
