Libnah
Libnâh is a toponym meaning 'Libnah,' used as the name of a location in the wilderness, as well as a Levitical city within the territory apportioned to the tribe of Judah, and later associated with key events in the Israelite conquest of Canaan and the territorial-political history of the southern kingdom. The name likely derives from a root meaning 'white,' suggesting a place characterized by whiteness—possibly due to white stones, soil, or local building material, though the specific reference is not certain.
