Supported# Amok (H5987): A Rare Biblical Name Based on the lexical data provided, עָמוֹק (Amok) appears in the Hebrew Bible only twice, classifying it as an extremely rare term. The lemma is identified as a proper noun—specifically a personal name rather than a common word with semantic range or grammatical variations. This designation indicates that "Amok" functions as a name designation for a specific individual or individuals in the biblical text. The minimal occurrence of this name (just two instances) means it played a limited role in biblical narratives or genealogies. Without additional contextual information about which biblical passages contain these two occurrences or what roles the person or persons named Amok played, we can only conclude from the lexical data itself that this was a name used in ancient Israel, preserved in the Hebrew scriptural record. The rarity of the name's appearance suggests it belonged to a relatively minor figure whose name was recorded but who did not feature prominently in the biblical narrative.
