Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "dapane," the concept of cost or expense can be related to Hebrew terms like "מְחִיר" (mechir), meaning "price" or "value," as seen in passages discussing the cost of sacrifices or offerings.

Usage: The term "dapane" refers to the cost or expense incurred in a particular situation. It is used in the New Testament to denote the financial outlay or expenditure required for a specific purpose. The word emphasizes the notion of spending resources, often in the context of fulfilling a need or obligation.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, financial transactions and the concept of expenses were integral to daily life, much like today. The economy was largely based on agriculture, trade, and commerce, and managing expenses was crucial for both individuals and communities. The concept of "dapane" would have been familiar to early Christians, who often had to consider the cost of discipleship and the financial implications of supporting the church and its mission.
