Strong's Lexicon yether: Remnant, remainder, excess, advantage, cord Original Word: יֶתֶר Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: yether Pronunciation: YEH-ter Phonetic Spelling: (yeh'-ther) Definition: an overhanging, an excess, superiority, remainder, a small rope Meaning: The term יֶתֶר (Yeter) encompasses several related concepts, including: • An overhanging or excess • Superiority or preeminence • A remainder or what is left over • A small rope or cord Word Origin: Derived from the root verb יָתַר (yatar), meaning "to remain" or "to be left over." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G2640 (καταλείπω, kataleipō): to leave behind, to abandon • G2645 (κατάλειμμα, kataleimma): a remnant, what is left • G3062 (λοιπός, loipos): remaining, the rest • G3063 (λοιπόν, loipon): for the rest, henceforth • G3064 (λοιπός, loipos): the rest, others • G4053 (περισσεύω, perisseuō): to abound, to be in excess • G4057 (περισσός, perissos): abundant, more than enough • G4103 (πιστός, pistos): faithful, trustworthy These Greek terms reflect similar themes of remaining, excess, and superiority, illustrating the continuity of these concepts across the Hebrew and Greek Scriptures. Usage: The word יֶתֶר appears in various contexts throughout the Hebrew Bible, often conveying the idea of something that remains or is left over, as well as denoting superiority or an excess. It can also refer to a physical object, such as a small rope or cord. Context: יֶתֶר (Yeter) is a versatile term found in the Hebrew Scriptures, illustrating both tangible and abstract concepts. In its most literal sense, it can refer to a small rope or cord, as seen in contexts where physical objects are described. More abstractly, יֶתֶר is used to denote what is left over or remains after a primary portion has been taken, often translated as "remainder" or "residue." This usage is evident in passages where the remnant of a group or the leftover portion of an offering is discussed. Additionally, יֶתֶר conveys the idea of superiority or preeminence, suggesting an excess or abundance in quality or quantity. This can be seen in contexts where individuals or groups are described as having a superior status or where an excess of resources or attributes is highlighted. The term is used in various books of the Old Testament, including Exodus, where it describes the remainder of the manna (Exodus 16:23), and in 1 Samuel, where it refers to the superiority of David's men (1 Samuel 30:24). In each instance, the context determines whether the focus is on a physical remainder, a superior quality, or an excess.
