yâshâr
and upright ones
Fundamentally, 'yashar' denotes what is straight, level, or direct—both in the physical and metaphorical sense. In extended usage, it signifies moral uprightness, integrity, honesty, or that which accords with ethical or communal norms. It is used to describe persons, actions, judgment, paths, and even speech or thoughts that are considered just or right. In rare instances, the term serves as a proper noun (as in the Book of Jashar), implying those regarded as upright or distinguished.
