Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Jeshurun in the Strong's Concordance, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun used uniquely in the context of the Old Testament. However, the concept of Israel as God's chosen and beloved people is echoed in various Greek terms related to the church and the people of God in the New Testament.

Usage: The term Jeshurun appears in the Hebrew Bible as a symbolic name for Israel, emphasizing the nation's ideal character as upright and righteous before God. It is used in a few key passages to highlight Israel's special relationship with God.

Context: Jeshurun is a poetic and affectionate name for the nation of Israel, found in the Hebrew Bible. It appears in four passages: Deuteronomy 32:15, Deuteronomy 33:5, Deuteronomy 33:26, and Isaiah 44:2. In Deuteronomy 32:15, Jeshurun is used in a context of rebuke, where Israel, having grown prosperous, is warned against forsaking God: "But Jeshurun grew fat and kicked; you grew fat, thick, and sleek—he abandoned the God who made him and scorned the Rock of his salvation." In Deuteronomy 33:5, it is used to describe the ideal kingship of God over Israel: "So the LORD became King in Jeshurun when the leaders of the people gathered, together with the tribes of Israel." Deuteronomy 33:26 praises God's unique relationship with Israel: "There is none like the God of Jeshurun, who rides the heavens to your aid, and the clouds in His majesty." Finally, in Isaiah 44:2, Jeshurun is used in a comforting promise of God's care: "This is the word of the LORD your Maker, who formed you from the womb and will help you: Do not be afraid, O Jacob My servant, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen."

The name Jeshurun underscores the ideal of Israel as a people chosen by God to live in righteousness and faithfulness. It serves as a reminder of the nation's calling to embody uprightness and to maintain a covenant relationship with God.
