# Japhia (H3309) Based on the lexical data provided, Japhia (יָפִיעַ) appears as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible with a single occurrence. The term functions as a name rather than a common word with semantic range or usage variations. Without additional contextual data from the lexicon entry—such as the specific passage where it appears, etymological background, or whether it designates a person or place—the analysis is necessarily limited to what can be directly confirmed: it is a Hebrew proper noun attested once in the biblical text. The minimal attestation (one occurrence) suggests this name held significance in the biblical narrative or genealogical record sufficient to be preserved in the text, though its frequency offers no basis for determining broader patterns of usage or theological importance. Any determination of its specific referent, meaning, or contextual role would require consulting the biblical passage itself and cannot be derived from the lexical entry alone.
