Strong's Lexicon yattir: Excellent, surpassing, preeminent Original Word: יַתִּיר Word Origin: Derived from the Aramaic root יתר (yatar), which means "to remain" or "to be left over." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the concept of excellence or preeminence can be related to Greek terms such as ὑπερέχω (hyperéchō - Strong's Greek 5242), meaning "to surpass" or "to excel." Usage: The term "yattir" is used in the context of something that is superior or surpassing in quality or value. It conveys the idea of excellence or preeminence, often in comparison to other things. In the biblical text, it is used to describe something that stands out due to its superior nature. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, the concept of excellence or preeminence was highly valued, especially in relation to wisdom, wealth, and status. The use of "yattir" in the biblical text reflects this cultural appreciation for what is considered superior or outstanding. The term is often used in Aramaic sections of the Old Testament, particularly in the books of Daniel and Ezra, which were written during the time of the Babylonian and Persian empires.
