Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The corresponding Greek entry for wealth is Strong's G4149: πλοῦτος (ploutos). This term is used in the New Testament to describe both material wealth and spiritual riches. For instance, in Ephesians 1:18, it refers to "the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints," highlighting the spiritual dimension of wealth in the Christian context.

Usage: The term עֹשֶׁר is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote material wealth or riches. It often appears in contexts discussing the blessings of prosperity, the moral implications of wealth, and the transient nature of material riches.

Context: • The Hebrew word עֹשֶׁר (osher) is frequently used in the Old Testament to describe material wealth and prosperity. It is often associated with God's blessings, as seen in passages where wealth is portrayed as a reward for righteousness and obedience to God's commandments. For example, in Proverbs 10:22, it is stated, "The blessing of the LORD enriches, and He adds no sorrow to it."
• However, the Bible also warns against the potential pitfalls of wealth. In Proverbs 11:4, it is noted, "Riches are worthless in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death." This highlights the transient nature of material wealth and the greater value placed on spiritual integrity.
• The concept of עֹשֶׁר is also explored in the context of social justice, where the accumulation of wealth is sometimes critiqued, especially when it leads to oppression or neglect of the poor. Ecclesiastes 5:10 reflects on the insatiable nature of wealth, stating, "He who loves money is never satisfied by money, and he who loves wealth is never satisfied by income. This too is futile."
• In the wisdom literature, wealth is often juxtaposed with wisdom, emphasizing that while wealth can provide comfort and security, it is wisdom and understanding that lead to true fulfillment and peace.
