Strong's Lexicon ashir: Rich, wealthy Original Word: עָשִׁיר Word Origin: Derived from the root עשׁר (ashar), meaning "to be rich" or "to enrich." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4145 (plousios): Rich, wealthy - G4142 (ploutos): Wealth, riches Usage: The Hebrew word "ashir" is used to describe individuals who possess wealth or abundance in material resources. It often denotes someone who has accumulated significant possessions, land, livestock, or money. In the biblical context, wealth is sometimes seen as a blessing from God, but it also comes with responsibilities and potential spiritual pitfalls. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, wealth was often measured in terms of land, livestock, and precious metals. Being "ashir" could imply a person of influence and power within the community. The Hebrew Bible presents a nuanced view of wealth, recognizing it as a potential sign of God's favor but also warning against the dangers of greed and the neglect of justice and mercy. The Law of Moses included provisions to protect the poor and ensure that wealth did not lead to oppression.
