Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root verb גָּנַב (ganab), which means "to steal."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek term in the Septuagint and the New Testament is κλοπή (G2809), which also means "theft" or "something stolen." This Greek term is used in similar contexts to describe acts of stealing and is found in passages that address moral teachings against theft, such as in the teachings of Jesus and the apostolic writings (e.g., Matthew 15:19, Ephesians 4:28). Usage: The word גְּנֵבָה is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe acts of theft and the objects that are stolen. It is often associated with moral and legal prohibitions against stealing, reflecting the ethical standards of the biblical text. Context: גְּנֵבָה (Genebah) appears in various contexts within the Hebrew Bible, emphasizing the prohibition against theft and the consequences of such actions. The concept of גְּנֵבָה is integral to the moral and legal framework of ancient Israelite society, as reflected in the Ten Commandments, where stealing is explicitly forbidden (Exodus 20:15). The term is used to describe both the act of stealing and the stolen goods themselves, highlighting the violation of trust and property rights. In the legal codes of the Torah, specific laws address the restitution required for theft, underscoring the importance of justice and reparation (Exodus 22:1-4). The narrative and legal texts illustrate the broader ethical implications of גְּנֵבָה, portraying it as a sin against both God and neighbor, disrupting communal harmony and divine order.
