Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with the concept of change or exchange is "ἀλλάσσω" (Strong's Greek 236), which also means to change or alter.

Usage: The Hebrew verb "mur" primarily conveys the idea of changing or exchanging something. It is used in contexts where there is a transformation or alteration, often involving a substitution or replacement. This term can be applied to physical exchanges, such as trading goods, or metaphorical changes, such as shifts in behavior or circumstances.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of exchange was integral to daily life, encompassing trade, commerce, and social interactions. The idea of change or transformation also held significant theological implications, reflecting God's ability to alter circumstances and bring about renewal. The Hebrew culture placed a strong emphasis on covenantal relationships, where exchanges and changes were often seen as part of divine providence and moral responsibility.
