Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3640 (mnēmoneuō): To remember, to recall - G3420 (mnēmē): Memory, remembrance Usage: The Hebrew word "zeker" primarily refers to the concept of remembrance or memory.

In the biblical narrative, "zeker" can refer to the act of remembering God's deeds, commandments, or the legacy of individuals. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, memory and remembrance were vital components of religious and communal life.
