# Joseph (H3130) The Hebrew word יוֹסֵף (Yoseph) is a proper noun referring to Joseph, a significant figure in biblical narrative. According to the lexical data provided, this name appears only twice in the Bible, indicating relatively limited textual occurrence despite the prominence of various biblical figures named Joseph. As a proper noun, Yoseph functions as a personal identifier rather than a descriptive word with variable meaning. The twice-attested occurrences suggest that while Joseph may be well-known from broader biblical tradition, these two specific instances represent the actual textual mentions recorded in the Hebrew scriptures from which this lexical data derives. Without additional context from the provided data, the specific narratives or figures associated with these two occurrences cannot be determined from this lexicon entry alone.
