pe.let is a proper name borne by a person named among Jonathan’s sons and as On’s father.

The attested use is a personal proper name: in one genealogy it names a son of Jonathan, and in another lineage it identifies On as the son of this named person.

Senses in use

  1. Personal name in genealogical identification · dominant

    Both occurrences are tagged Noun · Proper. In 1 Chronicles 2:33, the APB renders a list in which Jonathan’s sons are “Peleth and Zaza”; in Numbers 16:1, it renders On as “son of Peleth” within a chain of named people.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the name as “Peleth” in both verses: once as Jonathan’s son and once in the phrase “son of Peleth.” These clauses identify the name’s setting rather than establish a separate English meaning.
