Remember!
| Root | זכר (z-k-r) |
| Core Meanings | marking, remembering, calling to mind, mentioning, making known |
| Semantic Range | to remember, call to mind, make mention of, recount, keep in remembrance, be mindful, invoke, commemorate |
| Conceptual Significance | In the biblical text, remembering (זכר) is covenantal and active: to remember is to mark something with ongoing significance, often leading to faithful action. Israel is repeatedly commanded to remember YHWH’s deeds and covenant, and YHWH is said to “remember” His covenant, indicating faithful, purposeful attention that results in intervention. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal imperative, 2nd person masculine singular, from the primitive root זכר. The Qal stem expresses the simple active command: “you (ms), remember.” |
| Rendering Rationale | The form זְכָר is Qal imperative, 2nd person masculine singular, giving a direct command to one male hearer: “Remember!” The rendering preserves the core root sense of actively marking or calling something to mind, not merely recalling passively, while reflecting the singular imperative force of the morphology. |
