It is often used to describe the inner thoughts and intentions of a person, whether good or evil. In the biblical context, "yetser" can denote the creative and formative aspect of human thought, as well as the moral and ethical inclinations that guide behavior.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew thought, the concept of "yetser" is closely tied to the understanding of human nature and morality. The Hebrew Bible often contrasts the "yetser hara" (evil inclination) with the "yetser hatov" (good inclination), reflecting the dual nature of human impulses. This duality is a central theme in Jewish ethical teachings, emphasizing the struggle between good and evil within the human heart.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/3335.htm">yatsar</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a son of Naphtali<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Jezer (3).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> II. <font class="hebrew2">יֵּ֫צֶר</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>son of Naphtali</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/genesis/46-24.htm">Genesis 46:24</a> = <a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/7-13.htm">1 Chronicles 7:13</a>;
