Hebron — personal name, son of Kohath and grandson of Levi; ancestor of a Levitical clan
This חֶבְרוֹן (Chevron) designates not the famous Judean city but a person: the third son of Kohath, grandson of Levi, and ancestor of the Hebronite clan (1 Chr 26:23). He appears in the Levitical genealogies alongside his brothers Amram, Izhar, and Uzziel (Exod 6:18; Num 3:19; 1 Chr 6:2, 18; 23:12, 19). His descendants, the Hebronites, were assigned administrative duties west of the Jordan under David (1 Chr 26:30-32). The personal name is identical in form to the city name, requiring context to disambiguate. Spanish 'Hebrón' and English 'Hebron' transliterate identically for both person and place.
