Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root עָבַט (avat), which means "to take a pledge" or "to give a pledge." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for עַבְטִיט, the concept of pledging or collateral can be related to Greek terms used in the New Testament that discuss financial transactions or obligations, such as ἐνέχυρον (enechuron) • a pledge or security. However, specific Strong's Greek numbers are not directly linked to this Hebrew term. Usage: The word עַבְטִיט appears in the Hebrew Bible in contexts related to financial transactions, specifically in the realm of pledges or collateral. It is used to describe items that are temporarily surrendered as a guarantee for the fulfillment of a debt or promise. Context: The concept of pledging goods as security for a loan is an ancient practice reflected in the Hebrew Bible. The term עַבְטִיט is specifically used to denote items that have been pawned or pledged. This practice is addressed in the Mosaic Law, which provides guidelines for the ethical treatment of such pledges. For instance, in Deuteronomy 24:10-13, the law instructs lenders not to enter a borrower's house to collect a pledge and to return a poor man's cloak by sunset if it is taken as a pledge, ensuring the borrower's dignity and basic needs are respected. The use of עַבְטִיט underscores the importance of justice and compassion in financial dealings, reflecting a broader biblical principle of caring for one's neighbor and maintaining social equity.
