Strong's Lexicon
Shear Yashub: A remnant will return

Original Word: שְׁאָר יָשׁוּב
Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine
Transliteration: Sh'ar Yashuwb
Pronunciation: sheh-ahr yah-shoov
Phonetic Spelling: (sheh-awr'yaw-shoob')
Definition: A remnant will return
Meaning: Shear-Jashub

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew words שְׁאָר (she'ar, meaning "remnant") and יָשׁוּב (yashub, meaning "will return").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Shear Yashub, as it is a proper name specific to the Hebrew context. However, the concept of a "remnant" is echoed in the New Testament, such as in Romans 9:27, where Paul references Isaiah's prophecy about the remnant of Israel.

Usage: Shear Yashub is a symbolic name given to the son of the prophet Isaiah. The name signifies a prophetic message that a remnant of the people of Israel will return from exile or be preserved through judgment. It embodies the theme of hope and restoration amidst impending judgment.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of ancient Israel, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes used by prophets to convey divine messages. During Isaiah's time, the Northern Kingdom of Israel faced threats from Assyria, and the Southern Kingdom of Judah was under pressure. The name Shear Yashub served as a sign of God's promise to preserve a faithful remnant despite the nation's unfaithfulness and the looming threat of exile.
