Strong's Lexicon hon: Wealth, riches, substance, possessions Original Word: הוֹן Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be firm or to be easy Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4149 (πλοῦτος, ploutos) - wealth, riches - G5536 (χρηματισμός, chrēmatismos) - wealth, riches Usage: The Hebrew word "הוֹן" (hon) primarily refers to material wealth or possessions. It is often used in the context of abundance and prosperity, signifying the accumulation of goods, money, or resources. In the Old Testament, "hon" is frequently associated with both the blessings of God and the potential pitfalls of relying on material wealth rather than on God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, wealth was often seen as a sign of God's favor and blessing. The agrarian society valued land, livestock, and other tangible assets as indicators of prosperity. However, the Hebrew Scriptures also caution against the dangers of wealth, emphasizing that true security and blessing come from a relationship with God rather than material possessions. The wisdom literature, particularly Proverbs, often contrasts the fleeting nature of wealth with the enduring value of wisdom and righteousness.
