# Nachar (H5170A): Snorting The Hebrew word *nachar* refers to the physical act of snorting—the forceful expulsion of air through the nostrils. Based on the lexical data provided, this term appears only once in the biblical text, making it a rare word in Scripture. The definition indicates a specific, observable sound or action rather than an abstract concept. The single occurrence of *nachar* in the Bible limits what can be determined about its broader usage patterns or theological significance. Because the word appears only once, it is difficult to establish whether it was used metaphorically (perhaps to describe anger or disdain) or strictly to denote literal animal or human snorting. The rarity of this term suggests it may have been selected for a particular contextual purpose in that single instance, though the available lexical data does not specify which biblical passage contains it or what context frames its use.
