Strong's Lexicon ploutizó: To make rich, to enrich Original Word: πλουτίζω Word Origin: Derived from πλοῦτος (ploutos), meaning "wealth" or "riches." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "ploutizó," the concept of being made rich or enriched can be related to Hebrew words like עָשַׁר (ashar, Strong's H6238), which means "to be rich" or "to enrich." Usage: The verb "ploutizó" is used in the New Testament to convey the act of making someone rich or enriching them. It can refer to both material wealth and spiritual enrichment. The term emphasizes the abundance and generosity of God's provision, whether in physical or spiritual terms. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, wealth was often seen as a sign of favor from the gods, and the accumulation of riches was a common pursuit. However, the New Testament redefines true riches, emphasizing spiritual wealth over material possessions. The early Christian community was encouraged to seek spiritual enrichment and to use material wealth for the benefit of others, reflecting the values of the Kingdom of God.
