Supported# Yahaziel: A Minor Biblical Figure Based on the lexical data provided, Yahaziel (יַחֲזִיאֵל) is a proper name appearing twice in the Hebrew Bible. As a personal name rather than a common noun, it functions as a designation for an individual rather than conveying semantic content in the traditional sense. The name itself appears to be a theophoric construction—common in Hebrew naming conventions—though the specific lexical data supplied does not detail its etymological components or their meanings. The minimal frequency of occurrence (two instances) indicates that Yahaziel was a relatively minor figure in biblical narrative or genealogy. Without additional contextual information from the lexicon entry regarding which biblical passages contain these two occurrences or the roles these individuals played, we cannot determine whether both instances refer to the same person or different individuals bearing the same name. The limited evidence prevents drawing conclusions about Yahaziel's religious, political, or social significance within ancient Israelite society. In summary, the data identifies Yahaziel as a proper name with limited biblical attestation, but the lexicon entry alone does not provide sufficient detail to explain the figure's historical importance, narrative function, or the meaning of the name's components to a general audience.
