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.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>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.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/3498.htm">yathar</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>Moses' father-in-law (see NH3503), also the name of several Isr.<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Jether (8), Jethro (1).<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> III. <font class="hebrew2">יֶ֫תֶר</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> (<em>abundance</em>; on form and meaning of this and the following proper name see Lag<sup>BN 52, 198</sup>) — <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>1</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>father of Moses' wife</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/exodus/4-18.htm">Exodus 4:18</a> a (E; probably text error, elsewhere <font class="hebrew2">יִתְרוֺ</font>, q. v.) <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>2</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>eldest son of Gideon</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/judges/8-20.htm">Judges 8:20</a>, <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Ιεθερ</font>. <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>3</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>father of Amasa</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/1_kings/2-5.htm">1 Kings 2:5,32</a>; <a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/2-17.htm">1 Chronicles 2:17</a>, <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Ιεθερ</font>; = <font class="hebrew2">יִתְרָא</font> <a href="/interlinear/2_samuel/17-25.htm">2 Samuel 17:25</a>, <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Ιοθερ</font>, <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Ιοθορ</font>; <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font><sup>L</sup> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Ιεθερ</font>. <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>4</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>men of Judah</b></font>, <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Ιεθερ</font>: <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>a.</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/2-32.htm">1 Chronicles 2:32</a> (twice in verse). <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>b.</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/4-17.htm">1 Chronicles 4:17</a>. <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>5</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>a man of Asher</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/7-38.htm">1 Chronicles 7:38</a> ( = <font class="hebrew2">יִתְרָן</font> <a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/7-37.htm">1 Chronicles 7:37</a>), <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Ιεθερ</font>, A <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Ιεθηρ</font>, <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font><sup>L</sup> [1 Chronicles 7:39] <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Εθραν</font>. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>Jether, Jethro <p>The same as <a href="/hebrew/3499.htm">yether</a>; Jether, the name of five or six Israelites and of one Midianite -- Jether, Jethro.
