Supported# Areli: A Genealogical Name in Hebrew Scripture Based on the lexical data provided, אַרְאֵלִי (Areli) functions as a proper noun in biblical Hebrew, appearing exactly three times throughout the scriptural text. The term is presented as a personal or family name rather than a common word with semantic range or abstract meaning. Its classification as a distinct lemma in lexical databases indicates it held sufficient significance for biblical genealogical records to warrant individual lexical documentation. The limited frequency of occurrence—only three biblical appearances—suggests that Areli represents either a minor genealogical figure or a family line of limited prominence in the biblical narrative. Without access to the specific verse references in the provided data, the precise genealogical context cannot be determined; however, the consistent designation as a proper name across all occurrences indicates stable usage as a personal or tribal identifier. The name's inclusion in biblical lexicons alongside more frequently occurring terms reflects the comprehensive nature of biblical Hebrew documentation, capturing even peripheral genealogical entries.
