January 28, 2018 I have a dream...i received a mysterious text. the text message just contain the name "Jethro". I look for the meaning of the name Jethro and this is what i found: Jethro is the father of Zipporah, the first wife of Moses. Jethro is also known by the very similar name Jether (Exodus 4:18) and the completely different name Reuel (Exodus 2:18), although Reuel is probably the name of Jethro's tribe or patriarch (see Numbers 10:29). Jethro is a priest in Midian (that's in Arabia), but his allegiance to the God of Israel becomes evident only after the obvious success of the latter (Exodus 18:11). In this sense Jethro is very different from the other famous, non As a major tributary to Israel's legislative organization, Jethro gives Israel not only its signature judicial system, he also introduces the idea that every man should personally be aware of the law (Exodus 18:20). This is of course the very principle that makes Jesus a personal savior rather than some distant national liberator. The name Jethro comes from the Hebrew root ×תר (yatar) meaning to remain over, or be a rest: The beautiful root ×תר (yatar) yields words with a general meaning of remaining or being a rest (a remainder). HAW Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament submits, "It refers to one portion of a quantity which has been divided. Generally it is the smaller part and sometimes it is the part of least quality". The existence of a remnant brings about the notion that (a) something can't be exterminated, but (b) that there is more than enough, and that leads to connotation of this verb of to be abundant or rich, or even excellent as an adjective. Hence, a "rich" mouth (verbosity, perhaps?) doesn't become a fool (Proverbs 17:7), and the surplus of one's possessions (that's what remains after one's necessities have been met, and what goes into store rooms or bank accounts) can't be taken to heaven (Ecclesiastes 2:11). This verb has a few very curious derivatives, namely the masculine noun ×תר (yeter), meaning cord or bowstring, and masculine noun ××תר (metar), also meaning cord or string. With these cords, one may tie down a strong man (Samson in Judges 16:7), but also a tabernacle (Exodus 35:18). The wicked may lay an arrow on their string and shoot it at the heart of the righteous (Psalm 11:2), but the righteous have the Lord and His bow to withstand assault (Psalm 21:12). When someone's tent-cord breaks, he nears death (Job 4:21), and when a group's tent-cord breaks, the group will succumb to their enemies (Jeremiah 10:20). The masculine noun ×תר (yeter), meaning rest, remnant (Exodus 23:11, 2 Samuel 10:10). Note that this noun is spelled and pronounced the same as ×תר (yeter), meaning cord or bowstring. The feminine noun ××Ş×¨× (yitra), meaning abundance, riches (Isaiah 15:7 and Jeremiah 48:36 only). The masculine noun ××תר (yoter) or ×תר (yoter), meaning superiority or advantage (Ecclesiastes 6:8, Esther 6:6). The feminine noun ×תרת (yoteret), meaning appendage (Exodus 29:13, Leviticus 8:16). The masculine noun ×תר×× (yitron), meaning advantage, excellence, and which is used in Ecclesiastes only: Ecclesiastes 1:3, 5:15, 10:11. The masculine noun ××תר (motar), meaning abundance (Proverbs 14:23, or pre-eminence (Ecclesiastes 3:19).
