King James Version The King James Version, first published in 1611. Selah Verse shows the standard text.
THE KEY
The third place falls to Zaccur, “remembered”, and his twelve make a named household visible within the whole.
THE MEANING
The verse keeps Zaccur’s name visible while counting him, his sons, and his brothers as twelve. Belonging has both a particular name and a shared measure. One member remains distinct within the whole.
WHAT THIS UNDOES
Belonging to a whole means a person’s name disappears.
THE ROOT
זַכּוּר
Zakkur
GROWS FROM
זכר
z-k-r
Remembering, recalling, or bringing to mind; Zakkur is understood as “remembered” or “mindful.”
Zaccur is more than an identifying label: his name grows from זכר (z-k-r, “remember”), carrying the sense “remembered.” The roster places that name among his sons and brothers and counts them as twelve, joining a particular identity to shared belonging.
ALSO GROWS
zāḵar: To remember, recall, or bring to mind.
זָכַר
This is the root verb behind Zaccur’s name; the name holds remembrance inside the family roster.
zikkārôn: Memorial or remembrance.
זִכָּרוֹן
A memorial keeps a name or event present; here Zaccur’s name remains present within the counted household.
THE PATTERN
Twelve gives a gathered people a visible, ordered form.
And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD, and rose up early in the morning, and builded an altar under the hill, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel.And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:THE THREAD
And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.Zaccur’s name, זַכּוּר (Zakkur, “remembered”), shares the root זכר (z-k-r, “remember”) with “remembered” here. Exodus shows remembrance as covenant held in view; the root gives Zaccur’s name that same resonance within his family line.
