Supported# Zadok: A Proper Name in Hebrew Scripture Based on the lexical data provided, Zadok (צָדוֹק) is a Hebrew proper noun appearing twice in the biblical text. As a name rather than a common word, it does not carry a descriptive meaning in the traditional sense—it functions purely as a personal identifier. The minimal occurrence count (only 2 instances) suggests this figure, while named in Scripture, does not feature prominently in the passages that have survived in the biblical corpus we possess. Without additional context from the lexicon entry regarding which biblical passages contain these occurrences or what roles Zadok played in those narratives, we can observe only that the name appears twice, making it a minor textual presence. The significance of this name would depend entirely on the identity and actions of the person it denotes within those two specific passages, information that cannot be determined from the lexicographical data alone.
