Jeshurun, Jesurun

From: Concise Bible Dictionary: J By: George A. Morrish

Name given to Israel, probably signifying “upright ones”; others prefer “beloved of Jehovah.” Jehovah was the “God of Jeshurun”; and Moses, “king in Jeshurun” (Deut. 32:15¹⁵But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation. (Deuteronomy 32:15); Deut. 33:5,26⁵And he was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people and the tribes of Israel were gathered together. (Deuteronomy 33:5)
²⁶There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun, who rideth upon the heaven in thy help, and in his excellency on the sky. (Deuteronomy 33:26); Isa. 44:2²Thus saith the Lord that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, which will help thee; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and thou, Jesurun, whom I have chosen. (Isaiah 44:2)).
