Supported# Qoveh (קֹוֶה): A Geographic Reference in Biblical Text Based on the lexical data provided, qoveh appears in the Hebrew Bible as a proper noun referring to a place called Kue. With only four occurrences in the biblical corpus, this term represents a relatively minor geographic reference within scripture. The designation as a place name rather than a common noun indicates that qoveh identifies a specific location rather than describing a general concept or object. The limited frequency of this term—appearing just four times—suggests that Kue held marginal importance in the biblical narrative or reflected a location peripheral to the main centers of Israelite life and concern. Without access to the specific verses where qoveh appears, the precise nature of its significance cannot be determined from the lexical data alone; however, its consistent use as a proper noun across multiple occurrences confirms its stable identification as a distinct geographic entity within the biblical world.
