Strong's Lexicon mimkar: Sale, selling, transaction Original Word: מִמְכָּר Word Origin: Derived from the root מָכַר (makar), meaning "to sell." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4453 (πωλέω, poleo) - to sell - G4097 (πίπραμι, piprasko) - to sell, to be sold Usage: The term "mimkar" refers to the act of selling or a sale transaction. It is used in the context of commerce and trade, particularly in the buying and selling of goods or property. The word emphasizes the legal and formal aspects of a sale, often involving a contract or agreement. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, commerce and trade were integral parts of daily life. The economy was largely agrarian, but trade in goods such as livestock, grain, and textiles was common. Transactions were often conducted in open markets or at city gates, where elders and witnesses could oversee and validate the agreements. The concept of "mimkar" would have been familiar to the Israelites as part of their legal and economic systems, which were governed by laws found in the Torah, such as those concerning fair weights and measures, honesty in transactions, and the redemption of property.
