Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root verb מוּר (mur), which means "to change" or "to exchange."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent of the concept of exchange or substitution can be found in Strong's Greek Number G465, ἀντίλυτρον (antilutron), which means "ransom" or "redemption price." This term is used in the New Testament to describe the redemptive work of Christ, who gave Himself as a ransom for many, illustrating the ultimate exchange of His life for the salvation of humanity.

Usage: The word תְּמוּרָה appears in the Hebrew Bible in contexts that involve the concept of exchange or substitution. It is used to describe transactions where one item or value is given in place of another.

Context: The Hebrew term תְּמוּרָה (temurah) is used in the Old Testament to denote the act of exchanging or substituting one thing for another. This concept is often associated with trade, where goods or services are bartered, or in legal and religious contexts where compensation or restitution is required. The term appears in various passages, illustrating the principle of exchange in both material and moral dimensions.

In Leviticus 27:10, the concept of תְּמוּרָה is applied in the context of vows and offerings, where it is stated that one should not exchange or substitute a vowed animal for another. If such an exchange occurs, both the original and the substitute become holy. This underscores the seriousness of vows and the inviolability of what is dedicated to God.

The notion of תְּמוּרָה also extends to the idea of recompense or compensation, as seen in Job 15:31, where it is implied that reliance on vanity will yield no true compensation or exchange of value. This usage highlights the moral and ethical dimensions of the term, suggesting that not all exchanges are beneficial or righteous.
