שַׁבְּלוּל Snail
Every verse in which this word stands — 1 place, in canonical order, first appearance to last. These are the places the lexicon carries under this word's own entry, counting every form the text writes it in, which is the number on the list.
Once, in Tehillim 58:9 — the shablul that melts as it goes. Traditionally the snail and its trail; the identification is discussed.
כְּמוֹ שַׁבְּלוּל תֶּמֶס יַהֲלֹךְ נֵפֶל אֵשֶׁת בַּל־חָזוּ שָֽׁמֶשׁ
Let them be as a snail which melteth and passeth away; Like the untimely births of a woman, that have not seen the sun.
