לְ/לַעְדָּ֥ן
𐤋/𐤋𐤏𐤃𐤍
Laedan
of Ladan
Proper name designating two different Israelite individuals; La‘dan. The name occurs as a personal name in genealogical contexts: first, a leader of a Levitical family (1 Chronicles 23:7, etc.), and second, as a descendant of Ephraim (1 Chronicles 7:26). The meaning of the name is uncertain; it is likely connected to the root לַעַד (la‘ad), which may relate to perpetuity or continuation, but as a proper name, its semantic content is secondary.

SIBI-P1 Translation H3936-02
to Laʿdan
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לְ (“to/for”) + proper masculine singular personal name לַעְדָּן. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form consists of the preposition לְ (“to/for”) prefixed to the proper name לַעְדָּן (Laʿdan). As a personal name derived from a root relating to perpetuity or endurance, its functional use is nominal, so it is rendered as a name with the prefixed preposition preserved. |
