It can also refer to a physical object, such as a small rope or cord. Context: יֶתֶר (Yeter) is a versatile term found in the Hebrew Scriptures, illustrating both tangible and abstract concepts. In its most literal sense, it can refer to a small rope or cord, as seen in contexts where physical objects are described. More abstractly, יֶתֶר is used to denote what is left over or remains after a primary portion has been taken, often translated as "remainder" or "residue." This usage is evident in passages where the remnant of a group or the leftover portion of an offering is discussed.
