Strong's Lexicon nashath: To lend, to give on interest Original Word: נָשַׁת Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is "δανείζω" (daneizō), which also means to lend or to borrow. Usage: The Hebrew verb "nashath" primarily means to lend or to give something on interest. It is used in contexts where financial transactions or loans are discussed, often with an emphasis on the ethical considerations of lending practices. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, lending and borrowing were common practices, especially in agricultural societies where resources were often needed to sustain families between harvests. The Torah contains specific laws regarding lending, emphasizing fairness and compassion, particularly towards the poor. Charging excessive interest or exploiting borrowers was strongly discouraged, reflecting a broader biblical ethic of justice and care for one's neighbor.
