Old Testament
Libni
A Levite and son of Gershon, Libni was the progenitor of the Libnite clan of the Gershonites.
Libni was the son of Gershon and grandson of Levi, serving as a foundational figure for the Libnite clan within the tribe of Levi. His descendants were tasked with specific duties regarding the tabernacle, particularly the care of its curtains and coverings. The name also appears in 1 Chronicles 6:29 as a descendant of Merari, suggesting either a variant lineage or two distinct individuals sharing the same name.
