from Issachar
The tribe of Issachar is one of the twelve tribes of Israel, descended from Issachar, the fifth son of Jacob and Leah. The name "Issachar" is believed to mean "there is recompense" or "reward," reflecting Leah's gratitude to God for the birth of her son. Historically, the tribe of Issachar was known for its wisdom and understanding of the times, as noted in 1 Chronicles 12:32. This tribe was strategically located in a fertile region, which contributed to its prosperity and influence. The mention of Issachar here signifies the inclusion and importance of each tribe in the census and the collective identity of the Israelites as God's chosen people.

Nethanel
The name "Nethanel" means "God has given" in Hebrew, combining "nathan" (to give) and "El" (God). This name reflects a common biblical theme of acknowledging God's providence and blessings. Nethanel, as a leader from the tribe of Issachar, represents the divine appointment and responsibility bestowed upon him to lead and represent his people. His role in the census underscores the importance of leadership and accountability within the community of Israel.

son of Zuar
The phrase "son of Zuar" identifies Nethanel's lineage, which was a significant aspect of identity and authority in ancient Israelite culture. The name "Zuar" is less common, and its meaning is not definitively known, but it may be related to the Hebrew root "tsuar," meaning "small" or "insignificant." This could suggest a humble origin, highlighting the biblical theme that God often chooses leaders from humble beginnings to fulfill His purposes. The mention of Zuar emphasizes the importance of family heritage and the continuity of God's promises through generations.
