Part of Speech: noun masculine
Transliteration: yowther
Pronunciation: yo'-ther
Phonetic Spelling: (yo-thare')
Definition: Remnant, excess, remainder, what is left
Meaning: redundant, over and above

Word Origin: Derived from the root verb יתר (yatar), meaning "to remain" or "to be left over."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3005 (leimma): Remnant

- G4051 (perisseuma): Surplus, abundance

Usage: The Hebrew word "yother" primarily refers to what is left over or remains after a portion has been used or taken. It can denote a remnant or surplus, often used in contexts involving leftovers from sacrifices, remnants of people, or excess in various forms. The term emphasizes the concept of something that persists or remains after the main part has been dealt with.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of a remnant was significant both in daily life and religious practice. Leftovers from sacrifices were often considered holy and had specific instructions for their use or disposal. Theologically, the idea of a remnant also carried a deeper meaning, symbolizing the faithful few who remained true to God amidst widespread unfaithfulness. This concept is echoed throughout the prophetic literature, where a remnant of Israel is often seen as the hope for future restoration.
