◄ 3508. yothereth ►
Strong's Lexicon yothereth: Lobe, appendage Original Word: יֹתֶרֶת Part of Speech: Noun Feminine Transliteration: yothereth Pronunciation: yo-teh'-reth Phonetic Spelling: (yo-theh'-reth) Definition: Lobe, appendage Meaning: the lobe, flap of the liver Word Origin: Derived from the root יתר (yatar), meaning "to remain" or "to be left over." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "yothereth" in the Septuagint or the New Testament, as the specific term for the liver's lobe is unique to the Hebrew sacrificial context. Usage: The term "yothereth" is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer specifically to the appendage or lobe of the liver. It is a technical term often found in the context of sacrificial rituals, where specific parts of the animal are mentioned as part of the offering process. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite sacrificial practices, as outlined in the Torah, specific parts of the sacrificial animals were designated for burning on the altar. The liver, along with its lobe (yothereth), was considered significant in these rituals. The liver was often associated with life and vitality, and its offering symbolized the dedication of one's innermost being to God. The detailed instructions for sacrifices reflect the Israelites' desire to worship God in a manner that was both obedient and reverent, adhering to the laws given through Moses.
