Supported# Maacah (H4601N): A Biblical Place Name Based on the lexical data provided, Maacah (מַעֲכָה) is a proper noun that appears twice in the biblical text. As a lexeme with only two occurrences, its presence in Scripture, though limited, indicates it held enough significance to merit inclusion in the biblical record. Without access to the specific contexts of these two occurrences in the provided data, the analysis is constrained to what the lexical entry itself conveys: Maacah functions as a name, likely designating either a place or a person in biblical geography or genealogy. The classification as a distinct lemma reflects its importance as a named entity within the Hebrew Bible's narrative or genealogical framework. The limited frequency of this term suggests it was either a geographically or socially peripheral location or figure, or one mentioned only in specific historical or genealogical contexts. To fully understand its significance, one would need to examine the specific biblical passages where it appears and the historical or narrative context surrounding those two references.
