# Analysis of עֶגְלָה (Eglah) Based on the lexicon data provided, עֶגְלָה (Eglah) appears as a proper noun occurring exactly twice in the biblical text. The designation as a name rather than a common noun indicates this term refers to a specific person or place rather than a category of things. Without additional context from the provided data regarding which biblical passages contain these two occurrences, the precise identity and role of Eglah cannot be determined from this lexicon entry alone. The minimal frequency of this term—appearing only twice—suggests Eglah held a minor or peripheral role in biblical narratives. Such limited attestation typically characterizes names of secondary figures, family members, or locations mentioned briefly within larger accounts. The fact that the lexicon records exactly two occurrences suggests the text has been thoroughly catalogued, making this a complete record of the term's biblical presence. To understand the significance of Eglah within biblical literature, readers would need to examine the specific passages where these two occurrences appear. The lexicon data alone confirms only that this was a name recognized in the biblical tradition, but reveals nothing about the identity, relationships, or historical importance of the figure or place bearing this name.
