# Pithon (H6377): A Rare Biblical Name Pithon appears in the Hebrew Bible only twice, identifying it as a proper noun rather than a common word with semantic range. Based on its limited occurrence and classification as a lemma with its own Strong's number, Pithon functions as a personal or place name within biblical narrative. The transliteration "pi.ton" suggests a Hebrew original, though the lexical data provided does not specify whether this refers to a person or location. The rarity of this term—appearing just twice in the entire biblical text—means it held significance sufficient to be recorded but was not central to major theological concepts or frequently mentioned narratives. Without additional context from the lexicon entry regarding which biblical passages contain these two occurrences, we can only note that Pithon occupied a minor but documented place in the biblical record. Its inclusion in the standard Hebrew lexicon indicates it warranted identification as a distinct linguistic unit worthy of scholarly classification and reference.
