פָּסֵ֔חַ
𐤐𐤎𐤇
Pasecha
of Paseah
A personal name meaning 'limping' or 'one who limps.' This term functions exclusively as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, designating two individuals listed among the returning exiles and temple builders. The etymological sense (one who limps, lame) is rooted in the verb 'to limp,' but as a name, it carries little descriptive nuance.
