Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the proper noun Zeker, as it is a specific Hebrew name. However, the concept of remembrance, associated with the root זָכַר (zakar), can be related to Greek terms such as μνημονεύω (mnēmoneuō • Strong's Greek 3421), meaning "to remember" or "to mention."

Usage: The name Zeker appears in the genealogical records of the tribe of Asher in the Old Testament.

Context: Zeker is mentioned in the genealogical lists of the tribe of Asher, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. Specifically, he is listed as a descendant of Asher in 1 Chronicles 7:37. The genealogies in 1 Chronicles serve to establish the tribal and familial lines of the Israelites, emphasizing their heritage and the fulfillment of God's promises to the patriarchs. The name Zeker, like many biblical names, carries a meaning that reflects an aspect of Hebrew culture or theology, in this case, the concept of remembrance. The genealogical context in which Zeker appears highlights the importance of lineage and memory in the biblical narrative, underscoring the continuity of God's covenant with His people through successive generations.
