Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Yetheth, as it is a proper name specific to the Hebrew genealogical context. However, the concept of tribal leadership and genealogy can be related to Greek terms like "ἄρχων" (archon, meaning ruler or chief) in the broader biblical narrative.

Usage: Yetheth is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It is one of the names listed among the descendants of Esau, specifically one of the chiefs of Edom. The name Yetheth is associated with leadership and tribal governance within the Edomite context.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, names often carried significant meaning and were sometimes indicative of a person's role or destiny. The Edomites, descendants of Esau, were a significant group in the biblical narrative, often interacting with the Israelites. The chiefs of Edom, including Yetheth, were leaders of clans or tribes, and their mention in genealogies underscores the importance of lineage and tribal leadership in ancient societies.
