# Analysis of Shema (H8090) The Hebrew word *shema* appears only once in the biblical text according to the lexicon data provided. With a single occurrence, we cannot establish a pattern of usage or trace how the term's meaning varied across different contexts. The word is presented with the simple designation "Shema," which appears to function as a proper noun or title rather than a common noun with a detailed semantic range. Without additional occurrences to compare, the single attestation limits what can be determined about this word's linguistic function or theological significance within the biblical corpus. A word appearing only once provides minimal evidence for understanding its full meaning or how ancient Hebrew speakers employed it. To properly analyze a term's range and significance, scholars typically depend on multiple examples showing how the word functions in different sentences and contexts. The data as presented indicates only that this word existed in biblical Hebrew but does not provide sufficient information to explain its meaning, usage patterns, or importance to biblical interpretation. A fuller analysis would require either the definition itself or additional textual examples demonstrating how the word was used.
