# Abagtha: A Single Biblical Reference Abagtha (אֲבַגְתָא) appears only once in the Hebrew Bible, making it one of the rarest proper nouns in the text. Based on the lexicon data provided, it functions as a name rather than a common word with semantic range or usage patterns. The single occurrence severely limits what can be determined about its linguistic properties or theological significance from the data alone. Without additional context from the provided lexicon entry—such as the specific biblical passage, the identity of the person or place bearing this name, or etymological information—little more can be said about its meaning or importance. The word remains a hapax legomenon (appearing only once), which typically indicates either a name of foreign origin, a regional term, or a figure of minor biblical narrative importance. For readers encountering Abagtha in Scripture, its rarity underscores that not every name in the biblical text carries extended theological or narrative weight. The single reference and proper noun classification suggest that understanding its significance would require examining the specific passage in which it appears, rather than deriving meaning from repeated usage or defined semantic content.
