to-infinitive: לְחַתֵּן
action noun: חיתון / חִתּוּן

Hebrew

Root
ח־ת־ן (ḥ-t-n)

From the root ח־ת־ן (kh-t-n).

חיתן / חִתֵּן • (khitén) third-singular masculine past (pi'el construction)

(transitive) To marry (a couple), to wed, to perform the wedding of, to officiate at the wedding of.
הרב שחיתן אותנו ― haráv shekhitén otánu ― the rabbi who married us

This verb is used of the officiant at a wedding, not of the couple being married; for the latter, the intransitive verb הִתְחַתֵּן (hitkhatén, “to get married”) is used.
