חָשֻׁם

The Hebrew term חָשֻׁם (cha.shum) is a proper name, specifically given to a person, as indicated by its classification in the lexical database. The uniqueness of this name is highlighted by its sole occurrence in the Bible, suggesting a particular individual. Without further information or context from the occurrences in the Bible where this name appears, it is difficult to discern more about the character or the story behind this name, such as their family background, their actions, or any notable event. Nevertheless, as a proper name for an individual, it serves primarily to identify this person within a narrative or genealogical context. Given its limited occurrence in the Bible, חָשֻׁם does not contribute to a broader pattern or theme in the biblical narrative, but its significance lies in its unique connection to a specific character.
