Azor
Azor () is a local council (Israel), local council in the Tel Aviv District of Israel, on the old Jaffa-Jerusalem road southeast of Tel Aviv. Established in 1948, Azor was granted local council status in 1951. In it had a population of , and has a jurisdiction of . Etymology The earliest occurrence of the name is Babylonia, Babylonian A-zu-ru (in a Akkadian language, Neo-Assyrian text from 701 B.C.E.) which is compatible with the Septuagint form Άζωρ (Joshua 19:45). According to scholars, the name may derive from Semitic root ’-Z-R “to gird, encompass, equip”, but "this derivation is highly hypothetical as this root is so far not productive in the toponymy." The council of the new village named it Mishmar HaShiv'a ('Guardian of the Seven') in honour of seven Israelis soldiers killed near there in 1948, but the government committee in charge of assigning names forced them to change it to Azor on the grounds that preserving Biblical names was more important.

Azor (biblical Figure)
Azor (, 'helper'; , ), according to a New Testament gospel narrative in Matthew 1:13 and 1:14, was an ancestor of Jesus. He is mentioned as the son of Eliakim and the great-grandson of Zerubbabel; he is the father of Zadok. By this account he is of the Davidic line. In the Bible According to the Gospel of Matthew, Azor was the son of Eliakim and the father of Zadok from the patriarchal tribe of Judah. He is not mentioned anywhere in the Old Testament as a descendant of Zerubbabel, nor through any son by the name ''Abiud''. That name does not appear in the Old Testament either. However, ''Abiud'' is possibly intended to be ''Obadiah'', the son of Arnan, who is mentioned in the first Book of Chronicles ( 1 Chronicles 3:21). Some biblical scholars see Matthew's genealogy as theologically or symbolically—rather than historically—motivated. In this view, by alluding to names from the lineage of the tribe of Levi in his genealogy, Matthew intended to unite the priestly an ...

Accipiter
''Accipiter'' () is a genus of birds of prey in the family Accipitridae. Some species are called sparrowhawks, but there are many sparrowhawks in other genera such as '' Tachyspiza''. These birds are slender with short, broad, rounded wings and a long tail which helps them maneuver in flight. They have long legs and long, sharp talons used to kill their prey, and a sharp, hooked bill used in feeding. Females tend to be larger than males. They often ambush their prey, mainly small birds and mammals, capturing them after a short chase. The typical flight pattern is a series of flaps followed by a short glide. They are commonly found in wooded or shrubby areas. The genus ''Accipiter'' was introduced by the French zoologist Mathurin Jacques Brisson in 1760. The type species is the Eurasian sparrowhawk (''Accipiter nisus''). The name is Latin for "hawk", from ''accipere'', "to grasp".

Asor
The asor ( ''ʿasor''; from עשר ''eśer'', meaning "ten") was a musical instrument "of ten strings" mentioned in the Bible. There is little agreement on what sort of instrument it was or to what instruments it had similarities. Biblical references The word occurs only three times in the Bible, and has not been traced elsewhere. In Psalm 33:2 the reference is to "kinnor, nebel and asor" (); in Psalm 92:3, to "nebel and asor"; in Psalm 144 to "nebel-asor". In the King James Version ''asor'' is translated "an instrument of ten strings", with a marginal note "omit" applied to "instrument". In the Septuagint, the word being derived from a root signifying "ten", the Greek is ''ἐν δεκαχορδῷ'' or ''ψαλτήριον δεκάχορδον'', in the Vulgate ''in decachordo psalterio''. Each time the word asor is used it follows the word ''nebel'', and probably merely indicates a variant of the nebel, having ten strings instead of the customary twelve assigned to it by Jose ...
