Usage: The Hebrew verb "Howthiyr" primarily conveys the idea of leaving something behind or allowing something to remain. It is often used in contexts where a remnant is preserved or something is spared from destruction. This term can also imply the act of leaving something over, such as leftovers or remnants.
Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, the concept of a remnant was significant, especially in agricultural societies where the survival of crops and livestock was crucial. The idea of sparing or preserving a remnant is also deeply embedded in the theological narrative of Israel, where God often preserves a faithful remnant of His people despite widespread unfaithfulness or judgment.
