Berean Strong's Lexicon ganzak: Treasury, Storehouse Original Word: גַּנְזַךְ Word Origin: Derived from a Persian loanword, reflecting the influence of Persian culture and language during the period of the Jewish exile and subsequent return. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for treasury-related terms is θησαυρός (thēsauros), Strong's Greek #2344, which also means a storehouse or treasury. Usage: The term "ganzak" refers to a treasury or a storehouse, typically a place where valuable items, such as treasures, records, or supplies, are kept. In the context of the Bible, it often denotes a royal or temple treasury, indicating a place of significant wealth and resources. Cultural and Historical Background: The concept of a treasury was integral to ancient Near Eastern societies, including Israel. Treasuries were essential for storing wealth, managing resources, and supporting the administration of a kingdom or temple. During the Persian period, when the Jews were under Persian rule, the influence of Persian administrative practices, including the use of treasuries, was evident. This is reflected in the adoption of the Persian term "ganzak" into Hebrew. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originfrom the same as genez Definition treasury NASB Translation storehouses (1).
