# Bela (H1106H) — A Single Biblical Reference Based on the lexical data provided, בֶּ֫לַע (Bela) appears only once in the biblical text. The entry identifies it as a proper noun—a name rather than a common word with semantic range or multiple applications. With a single occurrence, no pattern of usage can be established, and therefore no meaningful analysis of contextual variation or significance can be drawn from the lexicon data alone. The minimal evidence here constrains any interpretation. A word appearing only once offers no comparative context within Scripture itself, preventing analysts from determining whether it held special theological weight, served primarily as a geographical or personal identifier, or carried symbolic meaning in ancient Hebrew thought. The lexicon data simply does not provide sufficient information to move beyond identification. To understand the actual significance of this name—whether it referred to a person, place, or tribe, and what role it played in biblical narrative—would require consulting the specific biblical passage where it appears, along with historical and archaeological sources. The lexicon entry alone confirms only that this term existed as a proper noun in biblical Hebrew.
