# Jahaziel (H3166J): A Biblical Name of Limited Attestation Jahaziel is a Hebrew proper noun appearing only once in the biblical text. The name combines elements typical of Hebrew theophoric naming conventions—those incorporating references to deity—though the lexicon data provided does not specify the semantic components that make up this particular name. Given its single occurrence in the biblical record, Jahaziel represents a minor figure in the scriptural narrative. The rarity of attestation means this person or name held limited prominence in the texts that were preserved and canonized. Without additional contextual information from the lexicon entry, we cannot determine whether this single occurrence reflects the historical importance of the individual or simply the selective nature of biblical documentation. Such unique names often belonged to individuals mentioned only briefly in genealogies, administrative lists, or specific historical episodes. The significance of Jahaziel lies primarily in its presence as a witness to Hebrew naming practices and the biblical community's composition rather than in any major theological or historical role. Single-occurrence names constitute an important category of biblical onomastics, revealing the broader populations and families embedded within the scriptural record.
