Supported# Pashhur: A Hebrew Proper Name Based on the lexical data provided, Pashhur (פַּשְׁחוּר) is a Hebrew proper noun that appears only once in the biblical text. As a name rather than a common word, it functions as a personal identifier rather than conveying a semantic meaning that can be analyzed through definition. The single occurrence limits our ability to establish patterns of usage or contextual significance from frequency alone. Without additional lexical information such as etymology, the names of individuals who bore this designation, or the narrative context of its appearance, we cannot determine whether Pashhur was a common name, a title, or held particular social or religious significance in ancient Hebrew society. The rarity of this name in the biblical corpus distinguishes it from more frequently attested Hebrew names and suggests it may have belonged to a specific individual or family line whose story appears at only one point in the biblical record.
