# Analysis of חִירָה (Hirah) Based on the lexical data provided, חִירָה (chirah) is a Hebrew proper noun appearing exactly twice in the biblical text. As a proper name rather than a common word, it does not carry a semantic meaning in the traditional sense—it functions exclusively as a personal designation. The limited occurrences suggest this was a relatively minor figure in biblical narrative, mentioned in only two specific contexts. Without additional context data regarding those two biblical passages, the precise historical or narrative significance of this individual cannot be determined from the lexicon entry alone. The word's classification as a proper noun indicates it refers to a specific person, likely from the ancient Levantine world, but the lexicon provides no information about that person's role, relationships, or importance to the biblical account. Any fuller understanding would require examination of the actual scriptural passages in which Hirah appears.
