# Shenazzar: A Single Biblical Reference Shenazzar appears only once in the Hebrew Bible, making it impossible to establish patterns of usage or semantic range based on biblical evidence alone. The lexicon data provides only the transliteration and identifies it as a proper noun—a personal name rather than a common word with definable meaning. Without additional occurrences, comparative forms, or contextual data in the provided entry, the semantic content of the name itself cannot be determined from this source. Given its singular appearance and classification as a proper name, Shenazzar functions in the biblical text as a historical identifier for a specific individual. The name's significance would depend entirely on its narrative or genealogical context in that single passage, which is not supplied in this lexicon entry. For readers seeking to understand who Shenazzar was or why he mattered, consulting the actual biblical passage containing this reference—along with historical and archaeological sources beyond the lexicon—would be necessary.
