Supported# Uri (H0221I): A Personal Name in Hebrew Scripture Based on the lexical data provided, **Uri** is a Hebrew proper noun that appears exactly once in the biblical text. As a personal name rather than a common word with variable meanings, its significance lies in its identification function—it designates a specific individual within the biblical narrative rather than conveying a broader semantic range or theological concept that could be explored across multiple occurrences. The single attestation of this name limits our ability to determine its usage patterns or contextual significance within Scripture. Unlike common Hebrew words that appear repeatedly and reveal their meaning through varied applications, proper names typically function as fixed identifiers. Without additional lexical data regarding the bearer of this name, their genealogy, or the narrative context in which they appear, we cannot establish why this particular individual was named Uri or what role they played in biblical history. For a fuller understanding of this name's significance, one would need to consult the specific biblical passage where Uri appears and examine the historical or genealogical context surrounding that reference. The lexical entry itself confirms only that Uri was a recognized Hebrew name used in biblical times, but cannot convey deeper meaning beyond this basic identification function.
