# Analysis of עִירָא (Ira) Based on the lexical data provided, עִירָא (Ira) is a proper noun—specifically a personal name—that appears exactly twice in the biblical text. As a name rather than a common word with semantic meaning, it does not carry a translatable definition in the conventional sense, but rather functions as an identifier for an individual or individuals within the biblical narrative. The limited number of occurrences (two instances) suggests that this name refers to a minor figure or figures in biblical history, rather than a central character whose name appears frequently throughout the text. Without additional contextual information from the passages where it appears, the significance of this particular Ira cannot be determined from the lexical data alone. The name would require examination of its narrative contexts to understand its historical or religious importance.
