This lexical entry provides a comprehensive understanding of the Hebrew word הוֹן, its usage in the biblical text, and its corresponding Greek terms, offering insights into the biblical perspective on wealth and sufficiency.

Usage: The word הוֹן appears in various contexts throughout the Hebrew Bible, often referring to material wealth or possessions. It is used to describe both the abundance of riches and the concept of having enough to meet one's needs.

Context: • Wealth and Riches: הוֹן is frequently used in the context of material wealth, as seen in Proverbs 10:15, "The wealth of the rich man is his fortified city, but poverty is the ruin of the poor." Here, הוֹן signifies the protective and influential power of wealth.
• Sufficiency: In some instances, הוֹן conveys the idea of sufficiency or having enough. For example, in Proverbs 30:15-16, the insatiable nature of certain things is contrasted with the concept of having enough.
• Moral and Ethical Implications: The use of הוֹן in the Hebrew Bible often carries moral and ethical implications. Proverbs 11:4 states, "Riches do not profit in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death," highlighting the transient nature of material wealth compared to spiritual integrity.
• Warnings Against Trusting in Wealth: The Bible frequently warns against placing trust in הוֹן. Proverbs 11:28 cautions, "He who trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous will thrive like a green leaf."
• Divine Blessing and Judgment: Wealth is sometimes portrayed as a blessing from God, as in Deuteronomy 8:18, "But remember that it is the LORD your God who gives you the power to gain wealth." Conversely, the misuse or hoarding of wealth can lead to divine judgment.
