Zuar is an Issacharite whose name means 'little one' or 'insignificant.' He is known exclusively as the father of Nethanel, the leader who represented the tribe of Issachar during the wilderness census, camp arrangement, and tabernacle dedication offerings. All five occurrences follow the fixed patronymic formula 'Nethanel son of Zuar' (Num 1:8; 2:5; 7:18, 23; 10:15), embedding the name firmly within the organizational framework of early Israel's tribal structure.
