Strong's Lexicon zakur: Remembered, mindful Original Word: זָכוּר Word Origin: Derived from the root זָכַר (zakar), meaning "to remember" or "to mention." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for זָכַר (zakar) is μιμνῄσκομαι (mimnēskomai), Strong's Greek #3403, which also means "to remember" or "to be mindful." Usage: The term "zakur" is used to describe something or someone that is remembered or kept in mind. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it often refers to God's remembrance of His covenant or His people. It signifies an active, purposeful remembering that leads to action, rather than a passive recollection. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, remembrance was a significant concept, deeply tied to covenantal relationships. To remember was not merely to recall but to act in accordance with a promise or commitment. This is evident in the way God "remembers" His covenants with the patriarchs and acts to fulfill His promises. The act of remembering was also central to Israel's worship and identity, as seen in the festivals and rituals that commemorated God's past acts of salvation.
