The Bible provides various instances where appraisal is significant, reflecting God's standards and human judgment.<br><br><b>Old Testament Context</b><br><br>In the Old Testament, appraisal is frequently associated with the valuation of offerings, property, and individuals. <a href="/bsb/leviticus/27.htm">Leviticus 27</a> provides detailed instructions on the valuation of persons, animals, and property dedicated to the Lord. For example, <a href="/leviticus/27-2.htm">Leviticus 27:2-3</a> states, "Speak to the Israelites and say, 'When a man makes a special vow to the LORD involving the valuation of persons, if the valuation concerns a male from twenty to sixty years of age, then your valuation shall be fifty shekels of silver, according to the sanctuary shekel.'"<br><br>This passage illustrates the importance of a standardized system of appraisal in maintaining fairness and order in religious and societal obligations. The appraisal process ensured that vows and dedications were honored appropriately, reflecting the seriousness of one's commitment to God.<br><br><b>New Testament Context</b><br><br>In the New Testament, appraisal takes on a more spiritual dimension. The Apostle Paul, in his letters, often speaks of the appraisal of spiritual matters and the discernment required by believers. In <a href="/1_corinthians/2-14.htm">1 Corinthians 2:14-15</a> , Paul writes, "The natural man does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God. For they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. The spiritual man judges all things, but he himself is not subject to anyone’s judgment."<br><br>Here, the term "judges" can be understood as appraising or evaluating spiritual truths. Paul emphasizes the need for spiritual discernment, which allows believers to appraise the value and truth of spiritual matters, distinguishing them from worldly wisdom.<br><br><b>Moral and Ethical Appraisal</b><br><br>The Bible also addresses the appraisal of moral and ethical behavior. <a href="/proverbs/21-2.htm">Proverbs 21:2</a> states, "All a man’s ways seem right to him, but the LORD weighs the heart." This verse highlights the divine appraisal of human actions and intentions. While individuals may justify their actions, it is ultimately God who appraises the heart and motives, providing a perfect and just evaluation.<br><br>Similarly, in the parable of the talents (<a href="/matthew/25-14.htm">Matthew 25:14-30</a>), Jesus illustrates the appraisal of faithfulness and stewardship. The servants are appraised based on their management of the master's resources, with rewards and consequences reflecting their diligence and responsibility.<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>The concept of appraisal in the Bible underscores the importance of evaluation in various aspects of life, from material possessions to spiritual truths and moral conduct. It serves as a reminder of the need for discernment and the ultimate authority of God's judgment in all matters.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(<I>imp. & p. p.</I>) of Appraise.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/350.htm"><span class="l">350. anakrino -- to examine, investigate</span></a> <br><b>...</b> Word Origin from ana and krino Definition to examine, investigate NASB Word Usage<br> <b>appraised</b> (2), appraises (1), asking questions (2), called to account (1 <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">//strongsnumbers.com/greek2/350.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 8k</font><a name="heb" id="heb"></a><div class="vheading2">Strong's Hebrew</div><a href="/hebrew/3365.htm"><span class="l">3365. yaqar -- to be precious, prized or <b>appraised</b></span></a><br><b>...</b> yaqar. 3366 . to be precious, prized or <b>appraised</b>.
