Hebronite Levite family designation · dominant
The masculine singular absolute gentilic form occurs in family and clan lists: Numbers 3:27 places it among the families belonging to Kohath, and Numbers 26:58 includes it among Levite clans. In 1 Chronicles 26:30 the APB renders the clause “To the Hebronite,” introducing Hashabiah and his brothers in oversight; 1 Chronicles 26:31 similarly identifies Jeriah as head of the group.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the designation as “the Hebronite” in the Chronicles notices and as “the Hebronites” in the clan list and in the description of Jeriah’s group. These renderings reflect the clauses’ group setting rather than a separate lexical sense.
