Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root יָצַר (yatsar), meaning "to form" or "to fashion."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the proper noun Jetser, as it is a specific Hebrew name. However, the concept of forming or shaping, related to the root יָצַר (yatsar), can be associated with Greek words like πλάσσω (plasso), meaning "to form" or "to mold," which is used in the New Testament to describe God's creative work.

Usage: The name Jetser appears in genealogical contexts within the Old Testament, specifically in the lineage of the tribe of Judah.

Context: • Jetser is mentioned in the genealogical records of the tribe of Judah. In 1 Chronicles 4:3, Jetser is listed as one of the sons of Ashhur, the father of Tekoa. The passage reads: "These were the sons of Etam: Jezreel, Ishma, and Idbash. Their sister was named Hazzelelponi. Penuel was the father of Gedor, and Ezer the father of Hushah. These were the descendants of Hur, the firstborn of Ephrathah and the father of Bethlehem." (BSB)
• The name Jetser, like many biblical names, carries a meaning that reflects its root. The root יָצַר (yatsar) suggests the idea of forming or shaping, which can imply a creative or purposeful act. This is consistent with the biblical theme of God as the Creator who forms and shapes the world and its inhabitants.
• The genealogical context of Jetser highlights the importance of lineage and heritage in the biblical narrative, particularly within the tribe of Judah, which holds significant messianic implications.
