אֶלְעָזָר

# Eleazar: A Biblical Name with Limited Attestation Eleazar (אֶלְעָזָר) is a Hebrew proper name appearing only twice in the biblical text. As a proper noun, it functions as a personal identifier rather than a word with semantic range in the traditional sense. The name itself appears to be a compound formation, though the lexicon data provided does not specify its etymological components or their individual meanings. The scarcity of this name's occurrence in the biblical corpus—just two instances—suggests it was either borne by a minor figure or figures in Israel's history, or the texts in which this particular form appears have limited preservation. Without additional context from the lexicon regarding which biblical figures bore this name or in what narrative contexts they appear, we cannot determine the historical or religious significance of the individuals so named. What we can conclude is that Eleazar was an attested personal name in ancient Hebrew usage, though apparently not among the most frequently mentioned individuals in the biblical record.
