נְחֶמְיָה

# Nehemiah (H5166) Based on the lexical data provided, *Nehemiah* (נְחֶמְיָה) appears in the Hebrew Bible exactly five times. As a proper noun, it functions as a personal name rather than a word with semantic meaning that shifts across contexts. The name itself appears to be a compound formation, though the lexicon entry does not provide etymological breakdown or theological interpretation. The limited occurrence count (five instances) suggests that while this name appears in biblical narrative, it does not dominate the text. Without additional contextual data from the lexicon entry regarding which biblical passages contain these occurrences, we cannot determine whether they cluster in a single narrative section or appear scattered throughout different books. The fact that a proper name receives lexical documentation indicates its significance for biblical scholarship, though significance here refers to its role as a named individual within the scriptural record rather than to any particular theological weight. To understand the full importance of this figure, readers would need to consult the biblical passages themselves, as the lexicon provides identification only—the name, its transliteration, and confirmation of its presence in the text—rather than narrative, historical, or interpretive details about who this person was or what role he played in biblical events.
