Part of Speech: Noun Masculine
Transliteration: rekush
Pronunciation: reh-KOOSH
Phonetic Spelling: (rek-oosh')
Definition: Possessions, goods, property, wealth
Meaning: property

Word Origin: From the root רָכַשׁ (rakash), meaning "to gather" or "to collect."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5224 (hyparchonta): Refers to possessions or belongings.

- G2933 (ktēma): Refers to property or possessions.

Usage: The Hebrew word "rekush" primarily refers to material possessions or wealth. It is used in the context of describing the goods and property that individuals or groups own. This term often appears in narratives involving the movement or transfer of wealth, such as during migrations, inheritances, or conquests.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, wealth was often measured in terms of livestock, land, and other tangible goods. Possessions were not only a sign of personal wealth but also of God's blessing and favor. The accumulation of "rekush" could indicate prosperity and stability, while its loss might suggest divine disfavor or misfortune. The concept of wealth was closely tied to family and community, as possessions were often shared or passed down through generations.
