8545. temurah
Strong's Lexicon
temurah: Exchange, Substitution

Original Word: תְּמוּרָה
Part of Speech: Noun Feminine
Transliteration: tmuwrah
Pronunciation: te-moo-RAH
Phonetic Spelling: (tem-oo-raw')
Definition: Exchange, Substitution
Meaning: barter, compensation

Word Origin: Derived from the root verb מוּר (mur), meaning "to change" or "to exchange."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of substitution in the New Testament can be related to Greek words such as ἀντί (anti, Strong's G473), meaning "instead of" or "in place of," and καταλλαγή (katallage, Strong's G2643), meaning "reconciliation" or "exchange."

Usage: The Hebrew word "temurah" primarily refers to the concept of exchange or substitution. It is used in the context of substituting one thing for another, often in a legal or ritualistic sense. In the Old Testament, it is frequently associated with the exchange of vows or offerings, where one item is substituted for another.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of substitution was significant in religious and legal practices. The Law of Moses included specific regulations regarding vows and offerings, where an item dedicated to God could not be exchanged or substituted without consequences. This reflects the broader ancient Near Eastern understanding of the sanctity and inviolability of vows and offerings.
