yat.tir is a proper name used for a place listed in the hill country and given with its pasture.

The attested forms are Proper Nouns. They identify a place: it is listed among hill-country locations in Joshua 15:48, given with its pasture in Joshua 21:14, and named among recipients in 1 Samuel 30:27; 1 Chronicles 6:42 preserves the same form within a genealogical line, though its specific contribution is less clear in the translation.

    The Proper-Noun form occurs in lists and place-related clauses: in Joshua 15:48 the APB renders “Shamir, Jattir, and Socoh,” and in Joshua 21:14 it renders “Jattir and its pasture.” In 1 Samuel 30:27 the APB includes it among named recipients, while 1 Chronicles 6:42 has the Proper-Noun form in a genealogical sequence but does not make its referent clear in the translation.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as “Jattir” in Joshua 15:48, Joshua 21:14, and 1 Samuel 30:27. In 1 Chronicles 6:42, its contribution is not identifiable from the translation’s genealogical wording.
