This Greek word carries similar connotations of abundance, surplus, or advantage, and is used in the New Testament to describe the overflow or abundance of grace, righteousness, and other spiritual blessings. Usage: The word יִתְרוֹן appears primarily in the book of Ecclesiastes, where it is used to explore the concept of what, if any, advantage or profit there is in human endeavors and life under the sun. Context: יִתְרוֹן (yithron) is a term that appears in the wisdom literature of the Old Testament, specifically in the book of Ecclesiastes. The Preacher, traditionally understood to be Solomon, uses this term to question the value and purpose of human labor and existence. In Ecclesiastes, the word is often paired with the phrase "under the sun," emphasizing the earthly and temporal perspective of human activities.
