Based on the provided lexicon data, the word "Magōg" (Ἀπώγ) refers to a proper name, specifically naming a person. This suggests that "Magōg" likely served as a personal name in the ancient context where it was used. The exact meaning of the name is unclear from the provided data, but it may have had cultural or geographical significance in the region where the Bible mentions it. The word appears twice in the Bible, indicating that it held some importance to the authors. This limited range of usage, however, makes it challenging to generalize its overall significance beyond the specific contexts in which it is mentioned. It is plausible that "Magōg" was known to the authors as a specific individual, which is why they used it in their writings. The lack of further information on the semantic domain and short definition does not provide any additional insights into the meaning or usage of "Magōg". The name itself remains an enigma, and its significance can only be interpreted based on its appearance in the biblical text within the narrative of the book of Revelation, chapter 20.
