This term is used in the New Testament to describe a deposit or down payment that guarantees the fulfillment of a larger promise, such as the Holy Spirit being a pledge of the believer's future inheritance (e.g., 2 Corinthians 1:22, 5:5; Ephesians 1:14). Usage: The term עֲרָבוֹן is used in the context of a pledge or security, often in financial or transactional settings. It appears in the Hebrew Bible to describe a tangible assurance or guarantee. Context: The Hebrew term עֲרָבוֹן (ʿărāḇôn) is used to denote a pledge or security, typically in the context of financial transactions or agreements. It is a form of collateral that serves as a guarantee for the fulfillment of a promise or obligation. The concept of a pledge is rooted in the ancient Near Eastern practice of providing a tangible assurance to secure a deal or agreement. In the Hebrew Bible, the term appears in Genesis 38:17-20, where Judah gives Tamar his seal, cord, and staff as a pledge (ʿărāḇôn) until he can send her a young goat as payment. This narrative illustrates the use of personal items as a form of security in a transaction. The practice of giving a pledge was a common legal and economic custom in biblical times, reflecting the importance of trust and assurance in human dealings.
