בַּקְבֻּקְיָה

# Bakbukiah: A Minor Biblical Figure Bakbukiah (בַּקְבֻּקְיָה) appears in the Hebrew Bible only three times, which immediately signals its limited significance in biblical texts. The name itself is a proper noun—a personal name rather than a common word with semantic range or varied meanings. Based solely on the occurrence data provided, this is a peripheral figure in biblical narrative and genealogy. Without additional lexicon data specifying the contexts of these three occurrences, we cannot determine Bakbukiah's role, time period, or social position from the information given. The name appears to be Semitic in structure, but the lexicon entry provided contains no etymology, no definition beyond identification as a name, and no contextual information about its bearer or bearers. The limited attestation suggests this individual or family line held minor importance in the biblical record's transmission history. For readers seeking to understand biblical names and figures, Bakbukiah exemplifies how the Bible preserves many genealogical and administrative names that appear only briefly, often in lists of officials, priests, or family members. The three occurrences indicate the name had enough significance to be recorded, but not enough to generate sustained narrative attention.
