Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of buying or purchasing is קָנָה (qanah), which means to acquire or buy. This term is used in various contexts in the Old Testament, such as in Genesis 23:16, where Abraham purchases a field. Usage: The verb ὀνέομαι is used in the context of acquiring or purchasing goods or services. It implies a transaction where something is obtained in exchange for money or other forms of payment. In the New Testament, this term is often used metaphorically to describe spiritual transactions or the acquisition of spiritual truths. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, commerce and trade were integral parts of daily life. Markets were central to cities, and buying and selling were common activities. The concept of purchasing was not limited to physical goods but extended to ideas, philosophies, and even spiritual beliefs. The metaphor of buying is used in the New Testament to illustrate the value and cost of spiritual truths and the kingdom of God.
