Supported# Analysis of זָבָד (Zabad) The Hebrew word זָבָד (zabad) appears only once in the biblical text, making it an extremely rare term. This single occurrence limits our ability to determine a comprehensive range of meanings or usage patterns. Based solely on the lexicon data provided, we can only confirm that this word exists as a documented Hebrew lemma, but the data does not include the definition itself—only that it represents a proper name or noun form. Because זָבָד occurs just one time in the Bible, it offers minimal insight into how ancient Hebrew speakers employed this term or what semantic range it might have possessed. A single occurrence prevents us from observing whether the word carried metaphorical significance, appeared in specific literary contexts, or held specialized religious meaning. To understand this term's actual significance would require examining the specific biblical verse in which it appears, information not provided in the lexicon data supplied. In summary, זָבָד remains an obscure biblical Hebrew word known primarily through a single textual reference. Without additional definitional data or contextual information, its meaning and importance cannot be determined from the evidence available.
