# Zanoah (H2182): A Biblical Place Name Based on the lexical data provided, Zanoah (זָנוֹחַ) is a proper noun—specifically a place name—that appears only once in the Hebrew Bible. As a hapax legomenon (a word occurring just a single time), its usage cannot be established through comparative occurrences within Scripture itself. The single attestation limits what can be determined about this location's significance or role in biblical narrative. Without additional contextual information beyond the lexicon entry, we cannot assess whether Zanoah was a major settlement, a minor village, or a geographical landmark of particular importance. The fact that it receives only one mention suggests it may have been peripheral to the main biblical narrative, though this conclusion remains provisional without examining the specific biblical passage in which it appears. The name itself preserves a geographic marker in the Hebrew scriptures, contributing to our knowledge of ancient Levantine settlements, but the sparse attestation prevents detailed analysis of its historical, theological, or cultural significance.
