It is used in contexts where the acquisition of wealth or goods is achieved through unethical means, such as plunder or greed. The word underscores the moral implications of acquiring wealth at the expense of righteousness and justice.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite society, the concept of wealth and gain was closely tied to one's relationship with God and adherence to His laws. The pursuit of wealth through unjust means was condemned, as it violated the covenantal principles of justice, mercy, and humility before God. The prophets frequently spoke against the accumulation of wealth through exploitation and corruption, calling the people back to faithfulness and integrity.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/1206.htm">bots</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a swamp<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>marsh (2), swamps and marshes (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> <font class="hebrew2">בִּצָּה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>swamp</b></font>, <a href="/interlinear/job/8-11.htm">Job 8:11</a> as place where rushes grow, compare <a href="/interlinear/job/40-21.htm">Job 40:21</a>;
