Berean Strong's Lexicon chesen: Wealth, riches, treasure Original Word: חֵסֶן Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to store up or hoard. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4149 (πλοῦτος, ploutos) - wealth, riches - G2344 (θησαυρός, thesauros) - treasure, storehouse Usage: The Hebrew word "chesen" primarily refers to material wealth or riches. It is used in the context of physical treasures or accumulated resources. The term can imply both the abundance of possessions and the security or stability that such wealth can provide. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, wealth was often seen as a sign of God's blessing and favor. It was associated with prosperity, security, and social status. However, the Hebrew Scriptures also caution against the dangers of relying on material wealth instead of trusting in God. Wealth was often stored in the form of precious metals, livestock, and goods, and it played a significant role in trade and economic stability.
