JESHURUN
        = "the righteous (from yaashaar ) people": Israel's ideal character; his high calling (Deuteronomy 32:15; 33:5,26; Isaiah 44:2; compare Numbers 23:21). (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.
        1 Chronicles 23:12,20; I SSHIAH in 24:25.
