Strong's Lexicon piqqadon: Deposit, pledge, trust, custody Original Word: פִּקָּדוֹן Word Origin: Derived from the root פָּקַד (paqad), which means to attend to, visit, muster, appoint, or deposit. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3862 (παραθήκη, parathēkē) - a deposit, trust, or thing committed to one's charge. Usage: The term "piqqadon" refers to something that is entrusted to another for safekeeping, a deposit or pledge. It is used in contexts where an item or responsibility is given to someone with the expectation of its return or proper management. This concept underscores the importance of faithfulness and trustworthiness in handling what belongs to others. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of a deposit or pledge was integral to economic and social transactions. Items were often entrusted to others as a form of security or guarantee. The Law of Moses provided specific guidelines on how such deposits were to be handled, emphasizing the moral and ethical responsibility to return or manage them faithfully. This reflects the broader biblical principle of stewardship, where individuals are seen as caretakers of what ultimately belongs to God.
