# Bidkar (H0920): A Proper Name in Biblical Hebrew Based on the lexical data provided, Bidkar is a proper noun—a personal name—that appears only once in the biblical text. The entry classifies it as a Hebrew word with the transliteration "bid.qar," indicating it functions as a discrete name rather than a common word with semantic range or multiple applications. The single occurrence of Bidkar in scripture means it carries no established pattern of usage that would allow us to determine nuanced meanings or contextual variations. Unlike common nouns or verbs with multiple biblical attestations, a hapax legomenon (a word appearing only once) offers limited insight into broader linguistic patterns. The significance of Bidkar must therefore rest entirely on the specific narrative context in which it appears, rather than on comparative usage across different biblical passages. Without additional lexical data about the word's etymology, related forms, or the narrative context of its single occurrence, we cannot determine beyond the basic fact that Bidkar represents an individual's name in the biblical record. The restricted evidence preserves only the name itself, not information about the person's role, historical period, or why this particular name was recorded in scripture.
