# Analytical Synthesis: פָּסַח (pasach) The Hebrew verb פָּסַח carries the fundamental meaning "to pass," according to lexical data. With only four occurrences in the biblical text, this word represents a relatively rare term in Hebrew scripture. The limited frequency suggests it was not the primary verb used to express the concept of passing in biblical Hebrew, indicating the existence of more common alternatives for this idea. The rarity of this particular lexeme makes each occurrence potentially significant for understanding specific contexts in which the biblical authors chose this specific word. While the core meaning remains "to pass," the actual range of nuanced applications—whether it refers to physical movement, temporal progression, or metaphorical passing—cannot be determined from the lexical data alone. The four instances represent the complete biblical evidence for how this verb functioned in ancient Hebrew communication.
