JEATHERAI; JEATERAI

je-ath'-e-ri, jeat'-e-ri (Revised Version (British and American)), (the King James Version) (ye'atheray, meaning unknown): A descendant of Gershom, "son" of Levi (1 Chronicles 6:21 (Hebrews 6)), and probably an ancestor of Asaph (so commentators); in Hebrews 6:20 the corresponding name is "Ei." The difference in the Hebrew words is not great.
