The word emphasizes the formal and legal aspects of a sale, often involving a contract or agreement. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, commerce and trade were integral parts of daily life. The economy was largely agrarian, but trade in goods such as livestock, grain, and textiles was common. Transactions were often conducted in open markets or at city gates, where elders and witnesses could oversee and validate the agreements. The concept of "mimkereth" would have been understood as a formalized exchange, often involving negotiation and the establishment of terms.
