Naves Topical Index
Jeshurun

Smith's Bible Dictionary
Jeshurun

(supremely happy), and once by mistake in Authorized Version JESURUN, (Isaiah 44:2) a symbolical name for Isr'l in (32:15; 33:5,26; Isaiah 44:2) It is most probably derived from a root signifying "to be blessed." With the intensive termination Jeshurun would then denote Isr'l as supremely happy or prosperous, and to this signification the context in (32:15) points.
