Ladan, a proper name borne by an Ephraimite ancestor of Joshua and a Gershonite Levite clan head
A Hebrew proper masculine name appearing in Chronicles for two distinct individuals. The first is an Ephraimite listed in the genealogy of Joshua's line (1 Chr 7:26). The second is a Gershonite Levite who heads a major clan responsible for temple treasury oversight (1 Chr 23:7-9; 26:21). The LXX renders the name variously as Ladan, Edan, and Laadan, reflecting early uncertainty about its vocalization.
Senses
1. Ladan — The proper name Ladan, identifying two Old Testament figures: (a) an Ephraimite in Joshua's ancestral line (1 Chr 7:26), and (b) a Gershonite Levite whose descendants served as temple treasurers under David's reorganization (1 Chr 23:7-9; 26:21). The LXX diversity (Ladan, Edan, Laadan) shows the name was transmitted with some fluidity in the Greek tradition. 7×
