יוֹאֵל

# Joel (H3100R) Based on the lexicon data provided, יוֹאֵל (Joel) is a proper name that appears only once in the Hebrew Bible. The single occurrence limits our ability to establish patterns of usage or contextual meaning beyond its function as a personal identifier. The name Joel consists of two Hebrew elements commonly found in biblical names: "Yo" (a shortened form of the divine name YHWH) and "El" (meaning "God"). This construction indicates the name carried theological significance, literally meaning something like "Yahweh is God." However, with only one biblical occurrence recorded in this lexicon data, we cannot determine which particular Joel this refers to or establish its historical or narrative importance based solely on frequency of use. The rarity of this entry in biblical texts—appearing just once—suggests either that this particular individual held minimal narrative prominence in the biblical record, or that alternative spelling variants of the name may appear elsewhere in Scripture. Without additional contextual data beyond the lemma itself, the specific identity and significance of this singular occurrence remain undefined by the evidence provided.
