Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive rootCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry related to the concept of buying or trading, particularly in the context of grain, is Strong's Greek Number G59, ἀγοράζω (agorazo), which means "to buy" or "to purchase." This Greek term is used in the New Testament to describe various acts of buying, including the purchase of food and other goods, reflecting similar economic activities as those described by שָׁבַר (shabar) in the Hebrew Bible. Usage: The verb שָׁבַר (shabar) is used in the context of trading or dealing in grain, often implying the act of purchasing or selling grain. This term is found in narratives where grain is a central commodity, particularly in times of famine or economic transactions. Context: The Hebrew verb שָׁבַר (shabar) appears in the context of economic activity related to grain, a staple commodity in ancient Near Eastern societies. This term is notably used in the narrative of Joseph in Egypt, where grain becomes a critical resource during a widespread famine. In Genesis 41:57, the text states, "And all the world came to Egypt to buy grain from Joseph, because the famine was severe everywhere." Here, שָׁבַר (shabar) is used to describe the act of purchasing grain, highlighting Joseph's role in managing the grain supplies of Egypt. Similarly, in Genesis 42:3, Joseph's brothers go to Egypt to "buy grain" (שָׁבַר) during the famine, underscoring the importance of grain trade in sustaining life during periods of scarcity. The term is also used in other contexts where grain trade is mentioned, reflecting the economic and survival aspects of ancient agrarian societies.
