The name Zaccur, derived from the Hebrew root "zakar," means "mindful" or "remembered." This entry explores the various individuals named Zaccur and their roles in biblical history.<br><br>1. <b>Zaccur, the Father of Shammua</b>: Zaccur is first mentioned in the Book of Numbers as the father of Shammua, one of the twelve spies sent by Moses to explore the land of Canaan. Shammua represented the tribe of Reuben in this reconnaissance mission. <a href="/numbers/13-4.htm">Numbers 13:4</a> states, "These were their names: From the tribe of Reuben, Shammua son of Zaccur."<br><br>2. <b>Zaccur, the Levite Musician</b>: Another Zaccur is noted as a Levite musician during the time of King David. In <a href="/1_chronicles/25-2.htm">1 Chronicles 25:2</a>, Zaccur is listed among the sons of Asaph, who were appointed to prophesy with lyres, harps, and cymbals. This Zaccur played a role in the musical worship that was central to the religious life of Israel.<br><br>3. <b>Zaccur, the Builder</b>: In the Book of Nehemiah, Zaccur is mentioned as one of the leaders who participated in the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem. <a href="/nehemiah/3-2.htm">Nehemiah 3:2</a> records, "The men of Jericho built next to Eliashib, and Zaccur son of Imri built next to them." This Zaccur contributed to the restoration efforts led by Nehemiah after the Babylonian exile, highlighting his commitment to the community and the restoration of Jerusalem.<br><br>4. <b>Zaccur, the Witness</b>: In <a href="/nehemiah/10-12.htm">Nehemiah 10:12</a>, Zaccur is listed among the leaders who sealed the covenant, a solemn agreement to follow the Law of God given through Moses. This act of sealing the covenant was a significant moment in the reestablishment of the Jewish community's commitment to their faith and traditions.<br><br>5. <b>Zaccur, the Ancestor of Hanan</b>: In <a href="/1_chronicles/9-15.htm">1 Chronicles 9:15</a>, Zaccur is mentioned as an ancestor of Hanan, a Levite who served in the temple. This reference places Zaccur within the genealogical records that underscore the importance of lineage and heritage in the Levitical priesthood.<br><br>The various mentions of Zaccur across different books of the Bible illustrate the diverse roles individuals played in the history of Israel, from leadership and worship to rebuilding and covenant renewal. Each Zaccur, in his respective context, contributed to the spiritual and communal life of the Israelites, reflecting the broader themes of faithfulness and service to God.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Zaccur</span><p>of the male kind; mindful<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Zaccur</span><p>(<i>mindful</i>). <ol> <li>Father of Shammua, the Reubenite spy.
