Rehum
Rechum (רְחוּם) is a personal name used for several individuals in the Hebrew Bible, referring to both Israelites and a Persian official. It functions as a proper noun and does not carry a concrete lexical meaning beyond its use as a name. When understood as a formation related to a root meaning 'compassionate,' it may connote 'the compassionate one,' but in biblical usage it is simply a name attached to various persons.
