# Asaph (H0623G): A Hebrew Proper Name Based on the lexical data provided, Asaph is a Hebrew proper noun appearing four times in the biblical text. The lemma אָסָף functions as a personal name rather than a common word with variable meanings. With only four occurrences in the Bible, this is a relatively minor figure in terms of textual frequency, though the limited data prevents detailed analysis of narrative significance or character development. The designation as a proper name indicates that Asaph refers to a specific individual or possibly multiple individuals bearing the same name within the biblical corpus. Without additional contextual information from the lexicon entry itself—such as genealogical connections, roles, or time periods—the precise identity and significance of this person or persons cannot be determined from the data alone. The four occurrences suggest Asaph held enough importance to be mentioned multiple times, but the sparse frequency prevents drawing conclusions about his prominence in biblical narrative or theology.
