Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent for a gift or present in the New Testament is often "δῶρον" (dōron - Strong's Greek 1435), which similarly denotes a gift or offering, particularly in a religious or ceremonial context.

Usage: The term "eshkar" refers to a gift or present, often given as a token of appreciation, goodwill, or reward. It is used in contexts where a tangible expression of favor or gratitude is conveyed, typically in the form of material goods or offerings.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the giving of gifts was a common practice to establish or maintain relationships, show respect, or secure favor. Gifts were often exchanged between individuals of different social standings, such as between a subject and a king, or between allies. The concept of giving and receiving gifts was deeply embedded in the social and economic fabric of the time, serving as a means of diplomacy and alliance-building.
