to Dathan
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לְ ("to/for") + proper masculine singular name דָּתָן. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form consists of the preposition לְ ("to/for") prefixed to the proper name דָּתָן (Dathan). Since the name’s etymology and root are uncertain and it functions solely as a personal name, the rendering preserves the prepositional prefix and the proper name without speculative meaning. |
