Berean Strong's Lexicon miqqach: Purchase, acquisition, gain Original Word: מִקָּח Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: miqqach Pronunciation: mik-kakh' Phonetic Spelling: (mik-kawkh') Definition: Purchase, acquisition, gain Meaning: reception Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "miqqach," the concept of acquisition or purchase can be related to Greek terms such as ἀγοράζω (agorazo - G59), meaning "to buy" or "to purchase," and κτάομαι (ktaomai - G2932), meaning "to acquire" or "to possess." Usage: The term "miqqach" refers to something that is acquired or purchased. It is used in the context of transactions or possessions that are obtained through buying or receiving. The word emphasizes the act of acquisition, highlighting the value or importance of what is gained. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, commerce and trade were integral parts of daily life. The concept of acquiring goods, land, or livestock through purchase was common, and transactions were often conducted in marketplaces or at city gates. The Hebrew culture placed significant importance on fair dealings and honest transactions, as reflected in various laws and teachings found in the Torah. The idea of acquisition also extended to spiritual and moral realms, where wisdom and understanding were seen as valuable possessions to be sought after.
