Word Origin: Derived from the root יָתַר (yatar), which means "to remain" or "to be left over."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for יֹתֶרֶת (yoteret) in the Strong's Greek Concordance, as the term is specific to the Hebrew sacrificial context. However, related concepts of sacrifice and offerings can be found in Greek terms such as θυσία (thysia • G2378), which means "sacrifice" or "offering."

Usage: The word "yoteret" is used in the context of the sacrificial system described in the Old Testament, specifically referring to the part of the liver that was to be offered in sacrifices.

Context: The term יֹתֶרֶת (yoteret) appears in the context of the Levitical sacrificial system, where specific instructions are given regarding the parts of the animal to be offered to God. In Leviticus 3:4, 3:10, 3:15, 4:9, 7:4, and 9:10, the yoteret is mentioned as part of the peace offerings and sin offerings. The liver, along with its lobe, was considered a significant part of the sacrificial animal, symbolizing the offering of the innermost parts to God. The detailed instructions for the offerings highlight the importance of following God's commands precisely, reflecting the holiness and sanctity of the sacrificial system. The yoteret, as part of the liver, was to be burned on the altar, signifying the complete dedication of the offering to God.
