Berean Strong's Lexicon yashar: Straight, right, upright, righteous Original Word: יָשָׁר Word Origin: From the root verb יָשַׁר (yashar), meaning "to be straight" or "to be right." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2117 (euthus): Meaning "straight" or "immediately," often used in the New Testament to describe directness or immediacy. - G1342 (dikaios): Meaning "righteous" or "just," used to describe those who are in right standing with God. Usage: The Hebrew word "yashar" primarily conveys the idea of being straight or upright, both in a physical and moral sense. It is often used to describe what is right, just, or pleasing in the sight of God. In the context of human behavior, it refers to living in accordance with God's laws and principles, embodying integrity and righteousness. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of "yashar" was deeply tied to the covenant relationship between God and His people. To be "yashar" was to live in a way that was aligned with God's will, reflecting His character and commands. This was not only a personal moral obligation but also a communal expectation, as the well-being of the nation was believed to be linked to their collective righteousness.
