שָׁ֑רֶשׁ

# Sheresh (H8329): A Hapax Legomenon in Biblical Hebrew Sheresh appears only once in the Hebrew Bible, making it what scholars call a "hapax legomenon"—a word attested in just a single location. This rarity presents a significant challenge for lexical analysis, since a word's meaning is typically established through comparison across multiple contexts and usage patterns. With only one occurrence, the precise semantic range and nuances of sheresh cannot be determined with confidence using lexical evidence alone. The limited data provided here offers no definition beyond the transliteration "she.resh," which suggests the lexicon entry may be incomplete or preliminary. Without additional context—such as the biblical verse where it appears, related cognate words, or comparative Semitic languages—we cannot reliably determine whether sheresh functions as a noun, verb, or other part of speech, nor can we establish its core meaning or theological or practical significance in biblical discourse. Any interpretation would require consulting the actual biblical passage and comparative linguistic sources beyond the scope of this lexical entry.
