ya.mar denotes an exchange or taking another’s glory as one’s own in Isaiah 61:6.

The sole attested use presents an exchange in relation to the nations’ wealth and glory in Isaiah 61:6; the translation’s wording makes the term’s precise English equivalent uncertain.

Senses in use

  1. Exchange in relation to others’ glory · dominant

    In Isaiah 61:6, the Hithpael imperfect second masculine plural form occurs after eating the nations’ wealth and in the clause concerning their glory. The APB renders the verse, “you shall eat the wealth of the nations, and in their glory you shall boast,” though its loose wording does not isolate the term’s specific contribution.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Isaiah 61:6, the APB presents the surrounding clause as “in their glory you shall boast.” This does not establish a precise standalone English rendering for the term.
