He is recognized as the father of Nethanel, a leader of the tribe of Issachar during the time of the Exodus.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b><br><br>1. <b><a href="/numbers/1-8.htm">Numbers 1:8</a> :</b> "from Issachar, Nethanel son of Zuar;"<br> <br> In this passage, Zuar is identified as the father of Nethanel, who was chosen as a leader to assist Moses and Aaron in the census of the Israelite community. This census was conducted to organize the tribes for their journey and eventual settlement in the Promised Land.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/numbers/2-5.htm">Numbers 2:5</a> :</b> "The tribe of Issachar will camp next to it. The leader of the Issacharites is Nethanel son of Zuar."<br><br> Here, Zuar is again mentioned in relation to his son Nethanel, who is designated as the leader of the tribe of Issachar. This verse is part of the instructions regarding the arrangement of the Israelite camp around the Tabernacle, highlighting the structured and divinely ordained order of the tribes.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/numbers/7-18.htm">Numbers 7:18</a> :</b> "On the second day Nethanel son of Zuar, the leader of Issachar, drew near."<br><br> This verse is part of the account of the offerings brought by the leaders of the tribes for the dedication of the altar. Nethanel, son of Zuar, is noted for bringing his offering on behalf of the tribe of Issachar, demonstrating the tribe's participation in the communal worship and dedication to God.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/numbers/10-15.htm">Numbers 10:15</a> :</b> "Nethanel son of Zuar was over the division of the tribe of Issachar."<br><br> In this context, Zuar is mentioned as the father of Nethanel, who was responsible for leading the division of Issachar during the Israelites' journey. This highlights the role of Zuar's lineage in the leadership and organization of the tribe.<br><br><b>Historical and Theological Context:</b><br><br>Zuar's mention in the Bible, though brief, places him within the significant narrative of the Exodus and the establishment of the Israelite community. His son, Nethanel, played a crucial role as a leader of Issachar, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The tribe of Issachar is traditionally associated with wisdom and understanding, as suggested by Jacob's blessing in <a href="/genesis/49-14.htm">Genesis 49:14-15</a>, which describes Issachar as a strong donkey lying down between the sheepfolds, symbolizing strength and diligence.<br><br>The genealogical reference to Zuar underscores the importance of family lineage and tribal leadership in the biblical narrative. It reflects the divinely appointed order and structure within the Israelite community, emphasizing the continuity of God's covenant promises through generations.<br><br>Zuar's legacy, through his son Nethanel, contributes to the broader account of the Israelites' journey from slavery in Egypt to their eventual settlement in the Promised Land. His mention in the context of the census, camp arrangement, and offerings signifies the collective responsibility and participation of each tribe in fulfilling God's commands and maintaining the unity and holiness of the nation.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Zuar</span><p>same as Zoar<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Zuar</span><p>(<i>littleness</i>), father of Nethaneel the chief of the tribe of Issachar at the time of the exodus.
