Supported# Analysis of קֹל (qol) - H6963B Based on the lexical data provided, H6963B represents a Hebrew word transliterated as *qol* with the meaning "frivolity." This entry appears only once in the biblical text, making it an extremely rare term in the Hebrew scriptures. The single occurrence limits our ability to establish patterns of usage or contextual variations, but the definition itself suggests a concept related to lack of seriousness or weightiness—something trivial or lacking in substance. The rarity of this particular entry is notable and warrants caution in interpretation. With only one biblical occurrence, we cannot determine whether this represents a standard Hebrew word that was simply used infrequently, a variant form of a more common word, or a term with specialized application. The lexical data provided does not indicate the specific biblical passage where it appears, which would be essential for understanding its precise context and function within the text. This single instance means the word does not appear frequently enough in biblical literature to establish a clear semantic range or to observe how its meaning might shift across different passages. For interpreters and students of biblical Hebrew, H6963B serves as a reminder that the biblical corpus contains numerous words of limited attestation. Understanding such terms requires careful attention to their solitary contexts, as there are no parallel uses to illuminate nuance or broader application.
