Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G4147 (πλουτέω, plouteō): To be rich, to become wealthy • G4148 (πλοῦτος, ploutos): Wealth, riches These Greek terms are used in the New Testament to convey similar ideas of wealth and prosperity, often with an emphasis on the spiritual implications of material wealth. For instance, in 1 Timothy 6:17, believers are instructed not to set their hope on the uncertainty of riches but on God, who richly provides for all. Usage: The verb עָשַׁר (ʿāšar) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the process of becoming wealthy or accumulating riches. It often implies a growth in material wealth or prosperity. Context: The Hebrew verb עָשַׁר (ʿāšar) appears in various contexts throughout the Old Testament, primarily conveying the idea of becoming rich or increasing in wealth. This term is often used in a positive sense, indicating a blessing or favor from God, as seen in the prosperity of the patriarchs and the nation of Israel when they followed God's commandments. For example, in Genesis 26:13, the Bible describes Isaac's prosperity: "And he became richer and richer, until he was exceedingly wealthy." The verb can also carry a cautionary tone, warning against the dangers of wealth leading to pride or a false sense of security, as seen in Proverbs 28:20: "A faithful man will abound with blessings, but one eager to be rich will not go unpunished." The concept of wealth in the Hebrew Bible is multifaceted, often linked with righteousness and divine favor, yet also accompanied by warnings against greed and the neglect of justice and mercy. The accumulation of wealth is not condemned in itself, but the misuse or idolatry of wealth is cautioned against. The verb עָשַׁר (ʿāšar) thus serves as a reminder of the balance between material prosperity and spiritual integrity.
