Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the proper noun "Libni" as it is a specific Hebrew name.

Usage: The term "Libni" is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a descendant of Levi, specifically one of the sons of Gershon, who was a son of Levi. The descendants of Libni are referred to as Libnites. Context: • Biblical Context: Libni is mentioned in the genealogical records of the Levites, the priestly tribe of Israel. As a son of Gershon, Libni is part of the Levitical lineage, which was set apart for religious duties and service in the tabernacle and later the temple. • Scriptural References: • In Exodus 6:17, Libni is listed among the sons of Gershon: "The sons of Gershon: Libni and Shimei, by their clans." • In Numbers 3:18, the descendants of Libni are mentioned in the context of the census of the Levites: "These were the names of the sons of Gershon by their clans: Libni and Shimei." • In 1 Chronicles 6:17, the genealogy of the Levites includes Libni: "The sons of Gershon: Libni his son, Jahath his son, Zimmah his son." • Role and Significance: The Libnites, as part of the Gershonite division of the Levites, were responsible for specific duties related to the care and transportation of the tabernacle's fabrics and coverings during the Israelites' wilderness wanderings. This role highlights the organizational structure and division of labor among the Levites, emphasizing the importance of each family line in maintaining the religious practices of Israel.
