Strong's Lexicon sachar: To hire, to reward, to earn wages Original Word: סַחַר Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3408 (misthos) - meaning wages, reward - G3409 (misthoo) - meaning to hire Usage: The Hebrew verb "sachar" primarily means to hire or to engage in service for wages. It conveys the idea of compensation or reward for work done. In the biblical context, it often refers to the hiring of laborers or the payment of wages, reflecting the economic practices of ancient Israel. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of hiring and wages was integral to the agrarian and pastoral economy. Laborers were often hired for specific tasks, such as harvesting crops or tending flocks. The Law of Moses included specific instructions regarding the fair treatment and timely payment of hired workers (e.g., Leviticus 19:13, Deuteronomy 24:14-15), emphasizing justice and compassion in economic dealings. This reflects the broader biblical principle of fairness and integrity in human relationships.
