Strong's Lexicon Yether: Remnant, remainder, excess, cord Original Word: יֶתֶר Word Origin: Derived from the root יָתַר (yatar), meaning "to remain" or "to be left over." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3005 (leimma): Remnant - G4051 (perisseia): Abundance, surplus Usage: The Hebrew word "Yether" primarily denotes something that is left over or remains. It can refer to a remnant or surplus, often used in contexts involving what is left after a larger portion has been taken or used. Additionally, it can mean a cord or string, emphasizing the idea of something that ties or binds. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of a remnant was significant, especially in the context of God's covenant with Israel. The idea of a faithful remnant is a recurring theme in the Hebrew Scriptures, symbolizing hope and continuity of God's promises despite widespread unfaithfulness. The use of "Yether" to mean a cord also reflects the agrarian and pastoral lifestyle of the Israelites, where cords and ropes were essential tools.
