What Original Readers Understood
Supported# Zakkur: A Biblical Proper Name Based on the lexical data provided, Zakkur (H2139L, זַכּוּר) is a Hebrew proper name that appears only once in the biblical text. As a hapax legomenon—a word occurring in only a single instance—it offers limited opportunity to establish patterns of usage or trace semantic development across different contexts. The single occurrence prevents any meaningful analysis of how this name functioned across varied biblical narratives or time periods. Without additional attestations, we cannot determine whether Zakkur was a common designation, a family name, or a unique identifier for a particular individual. The lexicon data provided does not include the specific biblical reference where this name appears, nor does it offer etymological information that might illuminate its original meaning or significance to ancient Israelite culture. For readers seeking to understand this name's role in Scripture, the single occurrence means that context from the surrounding passage would be essential. The name's appearance only once in the entire biblical corpus suggests it referred to either a minor figure in Israel's history or an individual of limited narrative importance, yet without access to that specific passage, no further conclusions about Zakkur's identity or significance can be drawn from the lexical data alone.
