Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence in the Greek Strong's entries for the Hebrew מִמְכֶּרֶת, related concepts can be found in Greek terms dealing with buying and selling, such as ἀγοράζω (Strong's Greek 59), meaning "to buy," and πωλέω (Strong's Greek 4453), meaning "to sell." These terms capture the transactional nature of מִמְכֶּרֶת in the context of the New Testament. Usage: This noun is used in the context of transactions, specifically referring to the act or process of selling something. It is often used in legal or economic contexts within the Hebrew Bible. Context: • The term מִמְכֶּרֶת appears in the Hebrew Bible to denote the concept of a sale, particularly in legal contexts where property or goods are exchanged. It is used to describe the formal act of selling, often involving land or possessions. The concept of מִמְכֶּרֶת is significant in the context of ancient Israelite society, where land ownership and the transfer of property were governed by specific laws and customs. • In Leviticus 25:27, the term is used in the context of the Jubilee laws, which provided for the redemption of sold property: "he shall calculate the years since its sale and refund the balance to the man to whom he sold it; then he can return to his own property" (BSB). This reflects the importance of maintaining family inheritance and the temporary nature of sales in the context of the Jubilee. • The concept of מִמְכֶּרֶת underscores the economic and social structures of ancient Israel, where sales were not merely economic transactions but were also tied to familial and tribal identity. The laws surrounding sales, including the right of redemption, highlight the balance between economic activity and social responsibility.
