Akkub
A personal name, Akkub, most often referring to individuals listed in Israelite genealogical records, especially Levites or those associated with tabernacle or temple duties. The base meaning, deriving from the root, relates to being 'insidious' or 'deceitful,' but as a proper name, this lexical sense is often secondary to its use as an identifier in biblical texts.
