Strong's Lexicon ebyon: Poor, needy Original Word: אֶבְיוֹן Word Origin: Derived from the root אָבָה (avah), meaning "to desire" or "to be willing." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4434 (ptochos): Often translated as "poor" in the New Testament, this Greek word carries a similar connotation of poverty and neediness, as seen in the Beatitudes (Matthew 5:3). Usage: The Hebrew word "ebyon" primarily refers to individuals who are economically disadvantaged or in need. It conveys a sense of poverty and destitution, often highlighting the vulnerability and dependence of such individuals on others or on God for sustenance and justice. In the Old Testament, "ebyon" is used to describe those who lack material resources and are often marginalized in society. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the "ebyon" were often landless or without sufficient means to support themselves. The Law of Moses provided specific instructions for the care and protection of the poor, including provisions for gleaning, tithing, and the Year of Jubilee, which aimed to prevent the permanent impoverishment of individuals and families. The plight of the "ebyon" was a significant concern for the prophets, who frequently called for justice and compassion towards the poor.
