Νινευΐ

# Νινευΐ (Nineveh): A Biblical Place Name Νινευΐ is the Greek transliteration of Nineveh, a significant geographical location that appears 17 times throughout the Bible. As a proper noun, it functions as a place name rather than a word with semantic depth or theological development. Its presence in the biblical text indicates that Nineveh held sufficient importance to be referenced repeatedly across different biblical narratives and contexts. The consistent appearance of this place name across 17 occurrences suggests that Nineveh served as a focal point in biblical history and narrative. The use of the Greek form reflects the linguistic context of the Greek New Testament and later Greek translations of Hebrew scriptures, demonstrating how the original Semitic place name was adapted for Greek-speaking audiences. This adaptation was necessary for communication within the Hellenistic world where the Bible was being read and transmitted. Without access to the specific passages where Νινευΐ appears, the data alone confirms only that this location recurs throughout biblical literature with sufficient frequency to warrant its inclusion in biblical lexicons. The 17 occurrences mark it as a place of substantive biblical interest, though the precise nature of that significance would require examination of the individual textual contexts in which it appears.
