Supported# Nohah: A Proper Name in Biblical Hebrew The Hebrew word *nohah* (נוֹחָה), designated as Strong's number H5283G, appears exactly once in the biblical text. This single occurrence, combined with its form as a proper noun, indicates that *nohah* functions as a personal name rather than a common word with semantic range or usage patterns. Given that the lemma is identified solely as a proper name with no documented alternative meanings or occurrences beyond the single biblical reference, the word carries minimal significance for understanding Hebrew vocabulary or theology in a broader sense. Its importance would be limited to genealogical or historical context within the specific passage where it appears—likely identifying an individual within a family lineage or narrative. Without additional lexical data showing varied usage or metaphorical applications, *nohah* cannot be analyzed for semantic development, theological weight, or linguistic influence beyond its function as an identifier within biblical genealogy.
