Usage: The Hebrew verb "yathar" primarily conveys the idea of something remaining or being left over. It can also imply excelling or having an abundance. In the context of the Old Testament, it often refers to remnants or what is left after a significant event, such as a battle or a harvest. The term can also denote preservation or survival, highlighting God's providence and care for His people.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of a remnant was significant, especially in the context of God's covenant with Israel. The idea that a faithful remnant would remain despite judgment or calamity is a recurring theme in the prophetic literature. This reflects the belief in God's enduring faithfulness and the hope for restoration and renewal. The agricultural context of ancient Israel also gives weight to the term, as the idea of what is left over after a harvest was a practical concern for survival and prosperity.
