Berean Strong's Lexicon dapanaó: To spend, expend, consume Original Word: δαπανάω Word Origin: From the Greek noun δαπάνη (dapane), meaning "expense" or "cost." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for δαπανάω, the concept of spending or expending can be related to Hebrew words like כָּלָה (kalah, Strong's H3615), meaning "to finish, complete, or consume," and יָצָא (yatsa, Strong's H3318), meaning "to go out, come out," often used in the context of resources being expended or used. Usage: The verb δαπανάω primarily means to spend or expend resources, often in the context of financial or material expenditure. It can also imply consuming or using up resources, whether for personal use or for the benefit of others. In the New Testament, it is used to describe both literal spending of money and metaphorical expenditure of one's self or resources for a cause or person. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of spending was closely tied to one's social status and responsibilities. Wealth was often seen as a means to gain honor and influence, and spending could be a demonstration of one's generosity or social standing. In the Jewish context, stewardship of resources was an important aspect of living a life pleasing to God, with an emphasis on charity and support for the community.
