יִגְאָל

# Analysis of יִגְאָל (Igal) The Hebrew word יִגְאָל (transliterated as *yigal*) appears in the biblical text as a proper noun—specifically, a personal name. According to the lexicon data provided, this term occurs only once in the Bible, which significantly limits our ability to establish patterns of usage or semantic range. Given that this is a name rather than a common word with grammatical function, it does not convey a meaning in the traditional sense of vocabulary analysis. Instead, it serves as an identifier for a specific individual within the biblical narrative. The single occurrence means we cannot determine how the name was used across different contexts or whether it carried symbolic or etymological significance that would have been recognizable to ancient Hebrew speakers. To understand this word's full significance would require examining the narrative context of its single biblical occurrence, which falls outside the scope of the lexical data provided here. What can be stated with certainty is that *yigal* functioned as a personal designation in biblical Hebrew, but the limited attestation prevents any broader linguistic or cultural conclusions.
