Supported# Baruch (H1263G) — A Proper Name in Hebrew Scripture Based on the lexical data provided, Baruch (בָּרוּךְ) appears in the Hebrew Bible as a proper name occurring a single time. The lemma itself is presented as a personal name rather than a common noun with semantic range, indicating this entry identifies a specific individual rather than a word with variable meanings across different contexts. Without additional contextual information from the lexicon data, the single occurrence and classification as a proper name suggest Baruch functioned as a personal identifier in biblical narratives. The name's presence in the biblical text represents a historical or literary figure deemed significant enough for inclusion in the scriptural record, though the limited data here does not specify the individual's role, time period, or narrative function. To understand Baruch's full significance within biblical literature—including whether this refers to the scribe associated with the prophet Jeremiah or another figure—one would need to consult the biblical text itself and supplementary lexical information beyond what this entry provides. The single occurrence noted here establishes only that this name appears in Scripture without elaborating on its theological or historical importance.
