What Original Readers Understood
Supported# Motzá (H4162G): A Single Biblical Reference Based on the lexical data provided, מוֹצָא (motzá) appears only once in the Hebrew Bible, making it an extremely rare term. The entry identifies it as "Moza," suggesting this is a proper noun—likely a place name rather than a common word with semantic range or multiple applications. Because this entry occurs only once in biblical text, we cannot establish patterns of usage, metaphorical extensions, or contextual variations that would typically characterize a word's full meaning and significance. The single occurrence limits our ability to determine whether "Moza" functioned as a significant location, what its geographical importance might have been, or how it related to other biblical sites. The data provided does not include the specific biblical passage where it appears, which would be necessary to understand its role in that particular context. In sum, Motzá represents a hapax legomenon—a word or name appearing nowhere else in the biblical corpus. For meaningful analysis beyond basic identification as a proper noun, consultation of the biblical passage itself and contextual historical sources would be required.
