Strong's Lexicon danizó: To lend, to borrow Original Word: δανίζω Word Origin: From the root word δάνειον (daneion), meaning "loan" or "borrowed money." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Hebrew 3867: לָוָה (lavah) – to borrow, to lend - Strong's Hebrew 5383: נָשָׁה (nashah) – to lend, to borrow Usage: The verb δανίζω (danizó) is used in the New Testament to describe the act of lending or borrowing, typically in the context of financial transactions. It implies a relationship where one party provides resources to another with the expectation of repayment. The term is often used to illustrate principles of generosity, stewardship, and the ethical treatment of others in financial matters. Cultural and Historical Background: In the 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 applied. In Jewish culture, the Law of Moses provided specific guidelines for lending, especially among fellow Israelites, emphasizing fairness and compassion (e.g., Exodus 22:25, Leviticus 25:35-37). The New Testament teachings often reflect these values, encouraging believers to lend without expecting anything in return, as a reflection of God's grace and generosity.
