Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root גָּנַז (ganaz), meaning "to hide" or "to store." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G1049 (gazophylakion): This Greek term refers to a "treasury" or "treasure chamber," similar to the Hebrew גֶּנֶז, indicating a place where offerings or valuables are stored. • G2344 (thesauros): This Greek word means "treasure" or "storehouse," aligning with the concept of גֶּנֶז as a repository for valuable items. The understanding of גֶּנֶז as a treasure or coffer reflects the broader biblical theme of the prudent management and safeguarding of resources, both material and spiritual. Usage: The word גֶּנֶז is used in the context of storing treasures or valuable items, often implying a sense of secrecy or protection. Context: The Hebrew term גֶּנֶז (genez) appears in the context of treasures or coffers, suggesting a place where valuables are kept securely. This term is rooted in the idea of concealment, as derived from the verb גָּנַז (ganaz), which means "to hide" or "to store." The concept of a treasure or coffer in biblical times often carried the connotation of wealth and security, reflecting the cultural and economic practices of safeguarding valuable possessions. The use of גֶּנֶז in the Hebrew Bible underscores the importance of protecting one's wealth and the inherent value placed on material goods. The term is not frequently used, but its presence highlights the significance of hidden treasures in the biblical narrative.
