These Greek terms are used in the Septuagint and the New Testament to convey the concept of maleness, similar to the Hebrew זָכוּר. They appear in contexts such as genealogies, legal stipulations, and discussions of gender roles.

Usage: The word זָכוּר is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a male individual, often in contrast to a female (נְקֵבָה, neqēbāh). It is used in various contexts, including genealogical records, legal stipulations, and ritual instructions.

Context: The term זָכוּר appears in the Hebrew Bible primarily to specify gender, particularly in legal and ritual contexts. It is used to distinguish males in genealogical lists, such as in the census of the Israelites, where males of a certain age were counted for military service (e.g., Numbers 1:2-3). In Levitical laws, זָכוּר is used to specify males in the context of sacrificial offerings and priestly duties (e.g., Leviticus 6:18). The term also appears in the context of circumcision, a covenantal sign given to Abraham and his male descendants (Genesis 17:10). The distinction between male and female is significant in the Hebrew Bible, reflecting the cultural and religious practices of ancient Israel.
