# Rakem (H7552): A Rare Biblical Place Name Based on the lexical data provided, Rakem (רקם) is a proper noun that appears only once in the Hebrew Bible. The designation "Rakem" indicates this is a place name rather than a common word with multiple meanings or applications. Its single occurrence in biblical text limits our ability to establish patterns of usage or contextual meaning through repetition. Without additional lexical information such as its location, historical period, or the specific biblical passage in which it appears, the significance of Rakem within biblical geography and narrative cannot be determined from the data presented. The rarity of its occurrence—appearing only once—suggests it was either a minor settlement, a place of limited narrative importance, or possibly an alternate spelling of another location. What can be stated with certainty is that Rakem represents a fixed geographic reference point in the biblical record, though its fuller historical and theological context would require consultation of the biblical passage itself and archaeological sources beyond this lexical entry.
