The Hebrew word כֹּ֫תֶל (ko.tel) has a short definition that translates to 'wall'. Its semantic domain is primarily Construction & Crafts, indicating that this term is commonly used in contexts related to building and architecture. The lack of multiple occurrences in the Bible suggests that this word may be used in a specific context or to convey a particular meaning. Given its limited usage, the word כֹּ֫תֶל is unlikely to have a broad or nuanced meaning in the biblical text. However, its singular appearance is still significant, as it contributes to the richness of language and imagery in the biblical narrative. In essence, this word helps to build (literally and metaphorically) the world of the biblical story.
