Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the proper noun יִצְהָר (Jitshar) in the Strong's Greek concordance, as it is a specific Hebrew name found in the Old Testament. However, the concept of "oil" or "anointing" can be related to Greek terms such as ἔλαιον (elaion, Strong's Greek 1637), meaning "olive oil," which is used in the New Testament in contexts related to anointing and healing.

Usage: The name Jitshar appears in the genealogical records of the Levites, specifically within the lineage of Kohath, one of the sons of Levi. It is used to identify a specific individual within the tribe of Levi.

Context: • Jitshar is a biblical figure mentioned in the genealogies of the Levites. He is identified as a son of Kohath, who was one of the three sons of Levi, making Jitshar a grandson of Levi. This places him within the priestly tribe of Levi, which was set apart for religious duties and service in the tabernacle and later the temple.
• The name Jitshar is found in the context of the Levitical genealogies, which are crucial for understanding the organization and responsibilities of the Levites in Israelite society. The Levites were responsible for various religious functions, including the care of the tabernacle and temple, as well as teaching the law to the people.
• In the Berean Standard Bible, Jitshar is mentioned in passages such as Exodus 6:18, where the genealogy of Levi is outlined: "The sons of Kohath were Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel. The lifespan of Kohath was 133 years."
• The mention of Jitshar in these genealogies underscores the importance of lineage and heritage in the biblical narrative, particularly concerning the roles and duties assigned to the Levites.
