Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive rootCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G4147 (πλουτέω, plouteō): To be rich, to become wealthy Usage: The verb עָשַׁר (ʿāšar) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the process of becoming wealthy or accumulating riches. It often implies a growth in material wealth or prosperity. Context: The Hebrew verb עָשַׁר (ʿāšar) appears in various contexts throughout the Old Testament, primarily conveying the idea of becoming rich or increasing in wealth. This term is often used in a positive sense, indicating a blessing or favor from God, as seen in the prosperity of the patriarchs and the nation of Israel when they followed God's commandments. For example, in Genesis 26:13, the Bible describes Isaac's prosperity: "And he became richer and richer, until he was exceedingly wealthy." The verb can also carry a cautionary tone, warning against the dangers of wealth leading to pride or a false sense of security, as seen in Proverbs 28:20: "A faithful man will abound with blessings, but one eager to be rich will not go unpunished."
