Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root אכל (akal), meaning "to eat" or "to consume."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name Ucal, as it is a unique proper noun found only in the Old Testament.

Usage: The name Ucal appears in the context of a biblical proverb, specifically in the Book of Proverbs.

Context: Ucal is mentioned in Proverbs 30:1, where it is part of the introduction to the sayings of Agur, son of Jakeh. The verse reads: "The words of Agur son of Jakeh, the oracle: This man declared to Ithiel, to Ithiel and Ucal." The identity of Ucal is not elaborated upon in the biblical text, and there is limited information about him outside of this reference. The name Ucal, along with Ithiel, is part of a literary introduction that sets the stage for the wisdom sayings that follow. The context suggests that Ucal may have been a contemporary or associate of Agur, possibly a recipient or audience of the teachings. The name itself, derived from a root meaning "to consume," does not provide additional insight into his character or role.
