# Analysis of H4619 (מַעַץ - ma.ats) Based on the lexical data provided, H4619 appears in the Hebrew Bible only once, making it an extremely rare term. The lemma is identified as "Maaz," which suggests it functions as a proper noun—specifically a personal name rather than a common word with semantic range or multiple meanings. This single occurrence severely limits what can be determined about the word's usage patterns or theological significance in biblical literature. The rarity of this term—appearing just once in the entire biblical corpus—means that linguistic analysis must remain minimal. Without multiple contexts demonstrating how the word functions, its precise meaning cannot be established through comparative usage. For proper names, particularly those appearing only once, scholars typically rely on etymological analysis or parallel texts outside the Hebrew Bible to clarify their origins and significance, neither of which the provided lexical data addresses. Given the constraints of this single attestation, "Maaz" should be understood primarily as a biblical proper name whose broader significance remains indeterminate from the biblical text alone. Readers seeking to understand this name would need to consult historical or genealogical sources that identify who Maaz was and the context in which this person appears in the biblical narrative.
