{{Hebrew cantillation|name_en=Yetiv|name_he=יְ֚תִיב|smbl=֚|smpl=ק֚וֹל}}
'''Yetiv''' ({{langx|he|יְתִיב}}) is a [cantillation](/source/Hebrew_cantillation) mark found in the [Torah](/source/Torah), [Haftarah](/source/Haftarah), and other books of the [Hebrew Bible](/source/Hebrew_Bible). It replaces the [Pashta](/source/Pashta) when these two conditions are fulfilled : it is not preceded by any conjunctive (''mesharet''), and the word is [prototonic](/source/wiktionary%3Aprototonic).

The Yetiv uses the same < symbol as the Mahpach, but when it is present, the < comes at the beginning of the word, unlike in a Mahpach, it is placed under the letter of the first syllable that is stressed. It is found to the right of the vowel. There is also no Pashta.<ref>Chanting the Hebrew Bible By Joshua R. Jacobson, page 100</ref> In print, the Yetiv will sometimes be distinguished from the Mahapach by being more acutely angled, but in the identical position. 

Yetiv occurs in the Torah 356 times.<ref name=Price6/>

The Hebrew word {{lang|he|rtl=yes|יְתִיב}} translates into English as ''sitting''.

The Yetiv starts off with a very high note, then drops low very suddenly.
