Strong's Lexicon azkarah: Memorial offering, remembrance portion Original Word: אַזְכָּרָה Word Origin: Derived from the root זָכַר (zakar), meaning "to remember" or "to mention." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "azkarah," the concept of memorial offerings can be related to the Greek term μνημόσυνον (mnemosynon), which also signifies remembrance or memorial. Usage: The term "azkarah" refers to a portion of a grain offering that is burned on the altar as a memorial to God. It is a symbolic act of remembrance, signifying the worshiper's dedication and acknowledgment of God's provision and sovereignty. The azkarah is a fragrant offering, representing the worshiper's prayers and devotion ascending to God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite worship, offerings played a crucial role in maintaining the covenant relationship between God and His people. The azkarah was part of the grain offering (minchah), which was typically composed of fine flour, oil, and frankincense. The priest would burn a portion of this offering on the altar, while the remainder was consumed by the priests. This act of offering was deeply embedded in the sacrificial system outlined in the Torah, serving as a tangible expression of gratitude and reliance on God.
