Strong's Lexicon rush: To be poor, to be in want, to lack Original Word: רוּשׁ Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: ruwsh Pronunciation: roosh Phonetic Spelling: (roosh) Definition: To be poor, to be in want, to lack Meaning: to be destitute Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4434 (πτωχός, ptōchos) - Often used in the New Testament to describe the poor or those in need, both materially and spiritually. Usage: The Hebrew verb "rush" primarily conveys the state of being poor or in need. It is used to describe individuals or groups who are lacking in material wealth or resources. The term can also imply a broader sense of destitution or deprivation, extending beyond mere financial poverty to encompass a lack of spiritual or emotional resources. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, poverty was a significant social issue, often linked to one's social status, family lineage, and land ownership. The Hebrew Scriptures frequently address the plight of the poor, emphasizing the community's responsibility to care for those in need. The concept of poverty in the biblical context is not only a physical condition but also a spiritual metaphor for dependence on God. The Law of Moses included provisions for the poor, such as gleaning laws and the Year of Jubilee, reflecting God's concern for justice and compassion.
