Usage: The verb רוּשׁ (rush) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a state of poverty or destitution. It conveys the idea of lacking resources or being in a state of need. Context: • The Hebrew verb רוּשׁ (rush) appears in contexts that describe economic poverty or a lack of material resources. It is often used to depict individuals or groups who are in a state of need or deprivation. The term is employed to highlight the social and economic conditions of those who are marginalized or disadvantaged. • In the Old Testament, the concept of poverty is not only a physical condition but also carries moral and spiritual implications. The poor are often seen as those who are dependent on God's provision and mercy. The biblical narrative frequently calls for justice and compassion towards the poor, emphasizing the responsibility of the community to care for those in need. • The verb רוּשׁ is used in various forms throughout the Hebrew Scriptures, often in poetic and prophetic literature. It serves as a reminder of the transient nature of wealth and the importance of relying on God rather than material possessions. • Example from the Berean Standard Bible (BSB): Proverbs 23:21 • "For the drunkard and the glutton will come to poverty, and drowsiness will clothe them in rags."
