Berean Strong's Lexicon daneion: Loan, debt Original Word: δάνειον Part of Speech: Noun, Neuter Transliteration: daneion Pronunciation: dah'-nay-on Phonetic Spelling: (dan'-i-on) Definition: Loan, debt Meaning: a loan, debt. Word Origin: From δανείζω (daneizō), meaning "to lend" or "to borrow." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of loans and debts in the Hebrew Bible can be related to Strong's Hebrew entries such as 3867 (לָוָה, lavah) meaning "to borrow" or "to lend," and 5383 (נָשָׁה, nashah) meaning "to lend on interest" or "to exact." Usage: The term "daneion" refers to a loan or something borrowed. In the context of the New Testament, it is used to describe a financial obligation or debt that one person owes to another. The concept of lending and borrowing is addressed in the teachings of Jesus, particularly in the context of ethical and moral behavior among believers. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greco-Roman world, lending and borrowing were common practices, often governed by strict social and legal norms. Loans could be secured with collateral, and interest rates were sometimes high, leading to potential exploitation. The Jewish law, as outlined in the Old Testament, provided guidelines for lending, emphasizing fairness and compassion, especially towards the poor (Exodus 22:25; Leviticus 25:35-37). Jesus' teachings in the New Testament often challenged the prevailing economic practices, urging His followers to act with generosity and mercy.
