Subjects in this Topic:
("the righteous (from yaashaar) people"): Israel's ideal character; his high calling (; ; ; ; compare ). (See JASHER, BOOK OF.) The idea of blessedness and prosperity enters into the word; the Arabic and the Hebrew: ashar, "happy," being related to yaashaar. There is a play on similar sounds which the Hebrew writers delight in, in Jeshurun and the diminutive of Israel, Israelun.
