Berean Strong's Lexicon sachar: To hire, to reward, to earn wages Original Word: שָׂכַר Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: sachar Pronunciation: sah-khar' Phonetic Spelling: (saw-khar') Definition: To hire, to reward, to earn wages Meaning: to travel round, to palpitate Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3408 (misthos) - meaning wages, reward - G3409 (misthoo) - meaning to hire, to let out for wages Usage: The Hebrew verb "sachar" primarily means to hire or to engage in a service for wages. It conveys the concept of earning a reward or compensation for work done. This term is often used in contexts involving labor, employment, and the exchange of services for payment. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, labor and employment were integral to daily life. The concept of hiring workers or servants was common, and the payment of wages was a fundamental aspect of economic transactions. The Law of Moses included specific instructions regarding the fair treatment and timely payment of hired workers (e.g., Leviticus 19:13, Deuteronomy 24:14-15). This reflects the importance of justice and fairness in economic dealings, which were seen as expressions of righteousness and obedience to God's commandments.
