Berean Strong's Lexicon yethur: Jethur Original Word: יְתוּר Word Origin: Derived from the root יָתַר (yathar), meaning "to remain" or "to be left over." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the proper noun "Jethur" as it is a specific name found in the Hebrew Bible. However, the concept of "remnant" or "remaining" can be related to Greek words like "λοιπός" (loipos), meaning "remaining" or "rest." Usage: The name "Jethur" is used in the Bible as a proper noun referring to a person. It is one of the names listed among the sons of Ishmael, the son of Abraham and Hagar. The name itself may carry the connotation of "abundance" or "remnant," reflecting the root meaning of "to remain" or "to be left over." Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of the Bible, Jethur is one of the twelve sons of Ishmael, who became the progenitors of various tribes. These tribes are often associated with the nomadic groups that inhabited the Arabian Peninsula. The Ishmaelites, as descendants of Ishmael, played a significant role in the history of the Near East, often interacting with the Israelites and other neighboring peoples.
