Strong's Lexicon yethib: To sit, to dwell, to remain Original Word: יְתִב Word Origin: Aramaic root, related to the Hebrew root יָשַׁב (yashab), meaning "to sit" or "to dwell." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar contexts is καθίζω (kathizó), Strong's Greek #2523, meaning "to sit down" or "to set." Usage: The Aramaic verb "yethib" is used to convey the act of sitting, dwelling, or remaining in a place. It is often used in contexts where a person is taking a seat or establishing a presence in a particular location. The term can imply a sense of permanence or stability, reflecting a settled state. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, sitting was often associated with authority and teaching. Leaders, judges, and teachers would sit to signify their role and authority. The act of sitting or dwelling also indicated a settled life, as opposed to the nomadic lifestyle that was common in earlier periods of Israel's history. The use of Aramaic in certain parts of the Old Testament reflects the historical period of the Babylonian exile and the subsequent influence of Aramaic as a lingua franca in the region.
