טֶ֣בַח
𐤈𐤁𐤇
Tevach
Tebah
Personal name used for distinct individuals in the Hebrew Bible: a) A descendant of Nahor, Abraham's brother, and b) A leader among the subjugated groups defeated by Kedorlaomer. As a proper noun, refers specifically to these individuals and not to the act of killing. The semantic range for the personal name is limited to its identification of these figures; the common noun form from the same root (טֶבַח) means 'slaughter' or 'butchery,' distinct from the proper noun usage.
