Strong's Lexicon ethnah: Gift, hire, wages Original Word: אֶתְנָה Word Origin: Derived from the root word נָתַן (natan), meaning "to give." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar contexts is μισθός (misthos), which also means wages or reward. Usage: The term "ethnah" is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a gift or payment, often in the context of wages or hire. It can carry a neutral or negative connotation depending on the context, sometimes referring to the wages of a harlot or the payment for services rendered. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the concept of payment or wages was integral to societal transactions, whether in labor, trade, or other services. The term "ethnah" reflects the economic practices of the time, where compensation was often given in tangible goods or currency. In biblical contexts, it sometimes highlights the moral and ethical dimensions of economic exchanges, especially when associated with illicit or immoral activities.
