It conveys the idea of doing something "for the sake of" or "because of" a particular reason or goal. It often introduces a cause or purpose clause, explaining why an action is taken or a condition exists.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, understanding the purpose or reason behind actions was crucial, as it often reflected one's relationship with God and adherence to His commandments. The use of "abur" in the Hebrew Bible underscores the importance of intentionality and purpose in the lives of the Israelites, whether in worship, obedience, or daily living.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/5674.htm">abar</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>produce, yield<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>produce (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> I.
