Usage: The term "makkar" refers to items that are sold or traded, typically in the context of commerce or trade. It is used to describe goods or merchandise that are exchanged in markets or through trade agreements. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, trade and commerce were vital components of daily life and the economy. Markets were central places where people gathered to buy and sell goods, ranging from agricultural produce to crafted items. The concept of trade was not only economic but also social, as it facilitated interactions between different cultures and communities. The Israelites engaged in trade with neighboring nations, which sometimes led to cultural exchanges and, at times, conflicts.
