Supported# Jamin (H3226I): A Proper Name in Biblical Hebrew The Hebrew word *yamín* (יָמִין), catalogued as Strong's H3226I, appears in the Bible a single time as a personal name: Jamin. With only one occurrence in the biblical text, this entry represents what is known as a hapax legomenon—a word or name that appears nowhere else in the Hebrew scriptures. The extremely limited attestation of this name prevents drawing broad conclusions about its usage patterns or theological significance. A single occurrence provides insufficient data to establish whether "Jamin" carried particular symbolic weight, belonged to a specific historical period, or held special meaning within biblical narrative. The name appears to function simply as a personal identifier, though without additional contextual information from the provided lexicon data, nothing more can be definitively stated about its role or importance in its biblical appearance. For modern readers, this entry serves as a reminder that the Bible contains numerous names and terms that appear only once, limiting what linguistic analysis alone can reveal about their cultural, historical, or religious meaning.
