Old Testament
Ucal
A recipient of Agur's wisdom in Proverbs 30, likely a student or associate of the author.
Ucal is mentioned only in Proverbs 30:1 as one of the individuals to whom Agur son of Jakeh addresses his inspired sayings. While some scholars suggest the name may be a corruption of the Hebrew text or a title, it is traditionally understood as a proper name of a student or companion. His inclusion highlights the collaborative or instructional nature of wisdom literature in the Old Testament.
