Strong's Lexicon Akar: To trouble, to disturb, to bring calamity Original Word: עָכָר Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine Transliteration: `Akar Pronunciation: ah-KAR Phonetic Spelling: (aw-kawr') Definition: Akar Meaning: Akar is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It is associated with the concept of causing trouble or disturbance. Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root עָכַר (akar), meaning "to trouble" or "to disturb." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name Akar, as it is a specific proper noun unique to the Hebrew text. However, the concept of "trouble" or "disturbance" can be related to Greek terms that convey similar meanings, such as ταράσσω (tarassō), meaning "to trouble" or "to disturb." Usage: The name Akar appears in the context of genealogies and narratives within the Old Testament. It is specifically used to identify an individual known for causing trouble. Context: • Akar is mentioned in the genealogical records of the tribe of Judah. The name is notably associated with the story of Achan, who brought trouble upon Israel by taking forbidden items during the conquest of Jericho. This act of disobedience led to Israel's defeat at Ai and subsequent judgment upon Achan and his family. The name Akar is thus emblematic of the consequences of sin and disobedience within the community of Israel. • In 1 Chronicles 2:7, Achar (a variant of Akar) is mentioned: "The son of Carmi: Achar, the troubler of Israel, who violated the ban on devoted things." This reference highlights the legacy of Achan's actions and the lasting impact of his transgression on his descendants and the nation of Israel. • The narrative surrounding Akar serves as a moral and theological lesson on the importance of obedience to God's commands and the communal repercussions of individual sin.
