Strong's Lexicon kamas: To store up, to hoard, to gather Original Word: כָּמַס Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of storing or hoarding is paralleled in the Greek New Testament by words such as "θησαυρίζω" (thēsaurizō - Strong's Greek 2343), which means to lay up or store treasures. Usage: The Hebrew verb "kamas" primarily conveys the action of gathering or storing up, often with the implication of hoarding or keeping something hidden. It suggests an intentional act of collecting resources or treasures, sometimes with a sense of secrecy or selfishness. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the act of storing up goods or treasures was a common practice, especially in preparation for times of scarcity or famine. The agrarian lifestyle necessitated the gathering and storing of crops and resources. However, the biblical narrative often warns against hoarding out of greed or lack of trust in God's provision. The cultural context emphasizes the balance between prudent preparation and reliance on divine providence.
