SIBI-P1 H2143-02
remembrance
| Root | זכר (z-k-r) |
| Core Meanings | to remember, call to mind, recall, mention, commemorate |
| Semantic Range | memory, remembrance, memorial, commemoration, lasting renown, invoked name, enduring mention |
| Conceptual Significance | זֵכֶר often signifies more than private memory; it denotes an enduring remembrance preserved in community, worship, or covenant history. In biblical theology, remembrance links past divine acts with present identity, ensuring that YHWH’s deeds and covenant faithfulness are continually recalled and proclaimed. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun; appears in both absolute (HNcmsa) and construct (HNcmsc) states. No pronominal suffixes in the cited forms. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun זֵכֶר derives from the root זכר (“to remember, call to mind”). The rendering "remembrance" preserves the verbal sense of active recalling inherent in the root, rather than a static mental state. The form is masculine singular (absolute or construct), which is reflected by the singular English noun without added plurality or suffix. |
