Strong's Lexicon Sakar: Reward, wages, hire, payment Original Word: שָׂכָר Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine Transliteration: Sakar Pronunciation: sah-KAR Phonetic Spelling: (saw-kar') Definition: Reward, wages, hire, payment Meaning: Sakar Word Origin: Derived from the root verb שָׂכַר (sakar), meaning "to hire" or "to reward." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3408 (misthos): Often translated as "wages" or "reward" in the New Testament, reflecting a similar concept of recompense for work or deeds. Usage: The Hebrew word "sakar" primarily refers to the concept of wages or reward. It is used in the context of compensation for work done or services rendered. In the Old Testament, "sakar" can refer to both literal wages paid to workers and metaphorical rewards given by God for righteousness or obedience. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of fair wages was integral to societal justice and economic stability. The Law of Moses emphasized the importance of paying workers promptly and fairly (Leviticus 19:13; Deuteronomy 24:14-15). "Sakar" also reflects the broader biblical theme of divine recompense, where God rewards individuals according to their deeds, both in this life and the hereafter.
