Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G2934: κτῆμα (ktēma) • property, possession
• G5223: ὑπάρχω (hyparchō) • to exist, to be present, often used to denote possessions or property
• G5225: ὑπάρχοντα (hyparchonta) • possessions, goods
• G5536: χρῆμα (chrēma) • money, wealth, possessions

These Greek terms correspond to the concept of רְכוּשׁ in the Septuagint and the New Testament, reflecting similar themes of material wealth and possessions.

Usage: The word רְכוּשׁ is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote possessions or property, often in the context of wealth or goods that belong to individuals or groups. It appears in various narratives, highlighting the material wealth of biblical figures or communities.

Context: רְכוּשׁ (rekhush) is a term frequently encountered in the Old Testament, signifying possessions or property. It is often used in contexts where the wealth of patriarchs, kings, or nations is described. For instance, in Genesis 12:5, it is used to describe the possessions that Abram took with him when he departed from Haran: "And Abram took his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, all the possessions they had accumulated, and the people they had acquired in Haran, and they set out for the land of Canaan." The term underscores the tangible wealth and resources that were considered significant in the ancient Near Eastern context. It is also used in narratives involving the distribution or division of property, such as in Genesis 31:18, where Jacob takes all his livestock and possessions as he leaves Laban. The concept of רְכוּשׁ is integral to understanding the socio-economic structures and familial wealth in biblical times.
