# Mahol (H4235): A Rare Biblical Name Based on the lexical data provided, Mahol (מָחוֹל) appears only once in the Hebrew Bible, making it an extremely rare term. The lemma is identified as a proper noun—specifically a personal name—rather than a common word with semantic range or grammatical flexibility. With a single occurrence and no multiple usage contexts available in the biblical text, we cannot establish how this name was applied, what its etymological significance might have been, or what associations it carried in ancient Israelite culture. The data confirms only that the word existed as a name in biblical Hebrew but provides no additional context about its meaning, usage patterns, or cultural significance. To understand this term more fully would require consulting the specific biblical passage where it appears, examining ancient Near Eastern naming conventions, or investigating possible etymological connections—information not contained in the lexical entry itself.
