Definition: Gold

Word Origin: Derived from the Aramaic root דְּהַב (dehav), which is related to the Hebrew זָהָב (zahav), meaning "gold."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5557 (χρυσός, chrysos): Refers to gold in the New Testament, used in contexts such as the gifts of the Magi (Matthew 2:11) and the description of the New Jerusalem (Revelation 21:18).

Usage: The term "dahava" is used in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, specifically in the books of Daniel and Ezra, to denote "gold." It refers to the precious metal known for its value, beauty, and use in crafting items of wealth and worship.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near East, gold was a symbol of wealth, power, and divine favor. It was used extensively in the construction of temples, palaces, and idols. Gold's enduring quality and rarity made it a standard for trade and a measure of wealth. In biblical times, gold was often associated with royalty and the divine, as seen in the construction of the Tabernacle and Solomon's Temple, where gold was used to overlay sacred objects.
