ye.ter identifies what remains after people, events, or other material have been set apart or described.

The attested clauses use the noun for what remains: people left outside a selected group or city, and material not included in an account of a ruler’s actions. Most occurrences are construct forms; the supplied translation does not isolate the noun’s contribution in every verse.

Senses in use

  1. What remains of a group or account · dominant

    The construct noun occurs where a portion is left after another portion is identified. In 1 Samuel 13:2 the APB renders the clause “The rest of the people he sent away,” after Saul keeps specified troops; in 2 Kings 25:11 two construct tokens occur in the description of people and a multitude carried into exile. In record-summary clauses such as 1 Kings 14:19 and 2 Chronicles 20:34, the APB presents the remaining acts of a king as written elsewhere.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the relevant clauses with “rest” or “remainder,” including people, acts, words, and a multitude. Those English expressions confirm the clause-level presentation rather than establish a distinct rendering in every occurrence.
