Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from a foreign origin, likely of Persian influence.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance that corresponds to the Hebrew גִּנְזַךְ. However, the concept of a treasury or storehouse is present in the Greek New Testament, often using terms like θησαυρός (thēsauros • Strong's Greek 2344), which means a treasure or storehouse.

Usage: The term גִּנְזַךְ is used in the context of a treasury, specifically referring to a place where valuable items, records, or treasures are kept. It appears in the context of royal or governmental treasuries.

Context: The Hebrew term גִּנְזַךְ (ginzak) is found in the Old Testament, specifically in the book of Ezra. It is used to describe a treasury, a secure place where treasures, records, or important documents are stored. The term is of foreign origin, likely borrowed from Persian, reflecting the historical context of the Persian Empire's influence over the Jewish people during the time of the exile and subsequent return to Jerusalem.

In Ezra 5:17 and 6:1, the term is used in the context of a search for a decree issued by King Cyrus regarding the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem. The search is conducted in the royal treasury, where such important documents would be kept. The Berean Standard Bible (BSB) translates these passages as follows:

Ezra 5:17: "Now if it pleases the king, let a search be conducted in the royal archives there in Babylon to determine if King Cyrus issued a decree to rebuild this house of God in Jerusalem. Then let the king send us his decision in this matter."
Ezra 6:1: "Thus King Darius ordered a search of the archives stored in the treasury of Babylon."

These references highlight the importance of the treasury as a repository of significant records and decrees, underscoring its role in the administration and governance of the empire.
