Strong's Lexicon misthótos: Hired hand, hireling Original Word: μισθωτός Word Origin: Derived from μισθός (misthos), meaning "wages" or "reward." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H7916 (sakar): A hired servant or laborer. - H5608 (sakar): To hire, to reward. Usage: The term "misthótos" refers to a person who works for wages, a hired laborer or servant. In the New Testament, it is often used to describe someone who is employed to tend to a task but lacks the commitment or ownership of a true shepherd or master. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greco-Roman world, hired laborers were common in agricultural and pastoral settings. These individuals were employed to perform specific tasks for a wage, without the vested interest or loyalty of a family member or owner. The concept of a "hireling" often carried a connotation of limited responsibility and dedication, as their primary motivation was financial compensation rather than personal investment in the work or the well-being of those they served.
