Dict: smith - JESHURUN



smith:



JESHURUN - J>@ - (supremely happy), and once by mistake in Authorized Version JESURUN, kjv@Isaiah:44:2) a symbolical name for Israel in (32:15; 33:5,26; kjv@Isaiah:44:2) It is most probably derived from a root signifying "to be blessed." With the intensive termination Jeshurun would then denote Israel as supremely happy or prosperous, and to this signification the context in (32:15) points.
