Divon
from Dibon
Dibon: a proper noun designating the name of multiple places in biblical geography—primarily two distinct Transjordanian towns, one associated with the tribal territory of Reuben and another as a settlement belonging to the Moabites. The name itself does not describe the characteristics or functions of these places and is primarily used as a location identifier. In some contexts, the name appears in extended forms (e.g., Dibon-gad), but the core lexical meaning is that of a place name rather than a common noun.

SIBI-P1 Translation H1769-03
from Dibon
| Morphological Notes | Preposition מִן ("from") + proper masculine singular place name דִּיבוֹן; no article; singular toponym. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form consists of the preposition מִן ("from") prefixed to the proper name דִּיבוֹן (Dibon). As a toponym derived from the root דוב, its lexical function is as a place name, so the faithful rendering preserves the geographic identifier while reflecting the prefixed preposition. |
