Strong's Lexicon yethur: Jethur Original Word: יָתוּר Word Origin: Derived from the root יָתַר (yatar), which means "to remain" or "to be left over." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry is Strong's G2484, Ἰατέρ (Iater), which is a transliteration of the Hebrew name יָתוּר (Yatur). However, it is important to note that the Greek term does not carry the same meaning related to gleaning or remnants but is rather a proper name. Usage: The word יָתוּר is used in the context of what remains after the main harvest has been collected. It is associated with the practice of leaving behind some of the harvest for the poor and needy to gather, as prescribed in the Mosaic Law. Context: יָתוּר (Yatur) is a term that appears in the Hebrew Bible to denote the concept of leftovers or remnants, particularly in the context of agricultural practices. The practice of gleaning, where the poor and strangers were allowed to collect what was left in the fields after the harvest, is a significant aspect of ancient Israelite society. This practice is rooted in the laws given in the Torah, which emphasize care for the marginalized and the importance of community support. The term יָתוּר highlights the ethical and social dimensions of these laws, reflecting a divine mandate for justice and compassion. The concept of gleaning is illustrated in various biblical narratives, such as the story of Ruth, where Ruth gleans in the fields of Boaz, demonstrating the practical application of this law.
