Strong's Lexicon rur: To be poor, to be destitute Original Word: רוּר Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and the New Testament for concepts related to poverty is πτωχός (ptōchos), Strong's Greek 4434, which also means poor or destitute. Usage: The Hebrew verb "rur" conveys the state of being impoverished or lacking in resources. It is used to describe individuals or groups who are in a state of need or deprivation. The term emphasizes the condition of lacking material wealth or resources, often highlighting the vulnerability and dependence of those who are poor. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, poverty was a significant social issue. The Hebrew Scriptures frequently address the plight of the poor, emphasizing the community's responsibility to care for those in need. The Law of Moses included provisions for the poor, such as gleaning laws and the Year of Jubilee, which aimed to prevent the permanent impoverishment of individuals and families. The concept of poverty in the Bible is not only a physical condition but also a spiritual metaphor for humility and dependence on God. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originsee rir.
