Strong's Lexicon Yetur: Jetur Original Word: יְתוּר Word Origin: Derived from the root יָתַר (yatar), meaning "to remain" or "to be left over." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Jetur, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew Bible. However, the region of Iturea is mentioned in the New Testament (Luke 3:1), which may be indirectly related. Usage: The name "Jetur" refers to one of the sons of Ishmael, the son of Abraham and Hagar. Jetur is listed among the twelve sons of Ishmael, who became tribal leaders or princes. The name is associated with a nomadic tribe that settled in the region of northern Arabia. Cultural and Historical Background: Jetur is one of the twelve tribes descended from Ishmael, who is considered the ancestor of many Arab peoples. The Ishmaelites were known for their nomadic lifestyle, dwelling in tents and moving with their flocks. The tribe of Jetur is believed to have inhabited the area known as Iturea, located in the northern part of the Transjordan region, which is mentioned in historical sources outside the Bible. This region was known for its skilled archers and played a role in the geopolitical landscape of the ancient Near East.
