Strong's Lexicon Yeatheray: Jetherites Original Word: יְאֱתְרַי Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root יתר (yatar), meaning "to remain" or "to be left over." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "Yeatheray" as it is a specific Hebrew clan name. However, genealogical terms and names in the Greek Septuagint may provide context for understanding similar structures in the New Testament. Usage: The term "Yeatheray" refers to the descendants or members of the family of Jether, a name found in the genealogies of the tribes of Israel. It is used to denote a specific clan or group within the larger tribal structure. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of ancient Israel, genealogies and tribal affiliations were crucial for identity, inheritance, and social structure. The Jetherites, as a clan, would have been part of this intricate system, contributing to the larger narrative of Israel's history and God's covenant people. Clans like the Jetherites played roles in the distribution of land, military organization, and religious duties.
