It suggests an intentional act of collecting resources or treasures, sometimes with a sense of secrecy or selfishness.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite society, the act of storing up goods or treasures was a common practice, especially in preparation for times of scarcity or famine. The agrarian lifestyle necessitated the gathering and storing of crops and resources. However, the biblical narrative often warns against hoarding out of greed or lack of trust in God's provision. The cultural context emphasizes the balance between prudent preparation and reliance on divine providence.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to store up<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>laid up in store (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">כָּמַס</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>store up</b></font> (si vera 1.), in <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Qal</b></font> <em>Passive participle</em> <font class="hebrew2">כָּמֻס</font> <a href="/interlinear/deuteronomy/32-34.htm">Deuteronomy 32:34</a> is not this <em>stored up</em> (<em>laid up in store</em>) with me ("" <font class="hebrew2">חָתוּם בְּאוֺצְרֹתָ֑י</font>);
