Word Origin: From the verb δανείζω (daneizō), meaning "to lend" or "to borrow." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with lending is נָשָׁה (nashah) - Strong's Hebrew 5383, which means "to lend" or "to borrow." Usage: The term "danistés" refers to a person who lends money or goods to another, expecting repayment with interest. In the New Testament, it is used to describe those who provide loans, often highlighting the moral and ethical considerations of lending practices. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Jewish and Greco-Roman societies, lending and borrowing were common economic practices. The Mosaic Law provided specific guidelines for lending, especially concerning interest and the treatment of debtors (e.g., Exodus 22:25, Leviticus 25:35-37). Charging excessive interest, or usury, was condemned, and lenders were encouraged to show compassion and fairness. In the New Testament era, the practice of lending was widespread, and Jesus' teachings often addressed the attitudes and behaviors associated with wealth and lending.
