Strong's Lexicon Yithnan: Yithnan Original Word: יְתְנָן Word Origin: Derived from the root יָתַן (yathan), meaning "to give" or "to bestow." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Yithnan, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. However, the concept of land allotment and inheritance can be related to Greek terms like κληρονομία (kleronomia), meaning "inheritance." Usage: Yithnan is a place name mentioned in the Old Testament. It is one of the towns in the territory allotted to the tribe of Judah. The name itself may imply a sense of "gift" or "bestowal," reflecting the allocation of land as a divine gift to the Israelites. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of ancient Israel, land was a significant aspect of God's covenant with His people. The division of the Promised Land among the tribes of Israel was not only a fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham but also a practical necessity for the establishment of a nation. Each town and region, including Yithnan, played a role in the socio-political and religious life of the Israelites. The allocation of land was seen as a divine act, reinforcing the Israelites' identity as God's chosen people.
