# Amasa: A Proper Name in Hebrew Scripture Based on the lexical data provided, H6021 represents the Hebrew name עֲמָשָׂא (transliterated as "Amasa"), which appears as a proper noun—a designation for a specific individual rather than a common word with multiple meanings. The single occurrence in the biblical text indicates this was either a relatively minor figure or the name appears in limited narrative contexts. Without access to the broader contextual data that would specify which biblical narrative features this person, or what role Amasa played in the scriptural account, the lexical entry itself provides only the confirmation that this name existed in Hebrew biblical tradition. The fact that it appears only once suggests it was either a peripheral character whose mention was specific to a single episode or reference, or that the surviving biblical manuscripts preserve this name in limited form. For readers approaching biblical texts, proper names like Amasa represent the human dimension of scripture—specific individuals embedded in historical or narrative accounts. Their lexical presence in biblical dictionaries serves primarily to facilitate recognition and identification within the text rather than to convey symbolic or semantic content, distinguishing them from common nouns, verbs, and descriptive terms that carry broader theological or linguistic significance.
