What Original Readers Understood
Supported# Reumah: A Hapax Legomenon in Biblical Hebrew Reumah (H7208) appears only once in the Hebrew Bible, making it a hapax legomenon—a word with a single occurrence. This single appearance severely limits what can be determined about its meaning or usage patterns from lexical evidence alone. The provided data indicates it functions as a proper noun (a name), though the lexicon offers no definition beyond this basic identification. Because Reumah occurs just once, it is impossible to establish a semantic range, typical context of use, or conventional significance within biblical literature. The word cannot be analyzed through comparative usage patterns, and no definable meaning beyond its function as a personal or place name can be extracted from lexical data alone. For any substantive understanding of what Reumah represents or why it appears in the biblical text, one would need to consult the specific biblical passage in which it occurs, as the lexicon itself provides no such contextual information.
