This concept is often used metaphorically in Scripture to describe the testing of faith, character, or spiritual integrity. The idea of assaying is closely related to refining processes, such as the purification of metals, which is a common biblical metaphor for spiritual purification and growth.<br><br><b>Biblical Usage</b><br><br>1. <b>Testing of Faith and Character</b>: The concept of assaying is frequently used to describe the testing of an individual's faith or character. In the Bible, God often allows His people to undergo trials to test their faith and refine their character. This is akin to the process of assaying metals to determine their purity and strength. For example, in <a href="/james/1-2.htm">James 1:2-3</a> , it is written, "Consider it pure joy, my brothers, when you encounter trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance."<br><br>2. <b>Refinement and Purification</b>: The process of assaying is also linked to the idea of refinement and purification. Just as metals are refined by fire to remove impurities, believers are often described as being refined through trials and tribulations. In <a href="/1_peter/1-6.htm">1 Peter 1:6-7</a> , the apostle Peter writes, "In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in various trials, so that the proven character of your faith—more precious than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ."<br><br>3. <b>Divine Examination</b>: The Bible also speaks of God as the one who assays or examines the hearts and minds of individuals. This divine examination is not merely for judgment but also for the purpose of guiding and refining His people. In <a href="/jeremiah/17-10.htm">Jeremiah 17:10</a> , the Lord declares, "I, the LORD, search the heart; I examine the mind to reward a man according to his way, by what his deeds deserve."<br><br>4. <b>Assaying in Wisdom Literature</b>: The wisdom literature of the Bible, such as Proverbs and Ecclesiastes, often reflects on the theme of testing and examination. <a href="/proverbs/17-3.htm">Proverbs 17:3</a> states, "A crucible for silver and a furnace for gold, but the LORD is the tester of hearts." This verse highlights the idea that just as metals are tested for their quality, so too are human hearts tested by God.<br><br><b>Historical and Cultural Context</b><br><br>In ancient times, the process of assaying was crucial for determining the value and authenticity of precious metals. This practice involved heating the metal to a high temperature to separate impurities from the pure metal. The imagery of assaying would have been familiar to the original biblical audience, who understood the importance of testing and refining in both material and spiritual contexts.<br><br><b>Theological Implications</b><br><br>Theologically, the concept of assaying underscores the importance of spiritual growth and maturity. It emphasizes that trials and tests are not merely punitive but are intended to strengthen and purify believers. This process is seen as essential for developing a faith that is genuine and enduring. The metaphor of assaying serves as a reminder that God is actively involved in the lives of His people, working to refine and perfect them for His purposes.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

The Hebrew word ya'al (<a href="/1_samuel/17-39.htm">1 Samuel 17:39</a>) is used of David clad in Saul's armor, who "assayed," that is, "tried unsuccessfully," to go and attack Goliath in it, for "he had not proved it," where nacah is the verb. In <a href="/deuteronomy/4-34.htm">Deuteronomy 4:34</a> and <a href="/job/4-2.htm">Job 4:2</a> nacah is rendered "assay," in the sense of "attempt," "venture." In <a href="/acts/16-7.htm">Acts 16:7</a> Paul is said to have "assayed," that is, "attempted" (but was hindered), to go into Bithynia, and now in <a href="/acts/24-6.htm">Acts 24:6</a> Paul is charged with having "assayed," that is, "having had the audacity," to profane the temple, where peirazein is the verb used in both cases. In <a href="/acts/9-26.htm">Acts 9:26</a>, and now in the Revised Version (British and American) <a href="/acts/26-21.htm">Acts 26:21</a>, "assay," renders the verb peirasthai, "to attempt," in both cases unsuccessfully.
