Zuar

Zuar is known only as a father. His son Nethaneel appears in the first count of Israel in the wilderness: “Of Issachar; Nethaneel the son of Zuar.” When the tribes camp around the tabernacle, Nethaneel “shall be captain of the children of Issachar.” In Numbers 7 each tribe’s prince brings an offering on his own day, and Issachar’s falls on the second. The same words close it: “the offering of Nethaneel the son of Zuar.” Zuar himself never speaks, but his name rides along on his son’s. Numbers 7 shows how carefully each leader’s gift was remembered.
