However, the concept of "selling" or "price" can be related to Greek words like ἀγοράζω (agorazo - G59), meaning "to buy" or "to redeem."<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>Mechir is a proper noun used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a person. Specifically, Mechir is identified as the firstborn son of Manasseh, who was the son of Joseph. The name Mechir is associated with the idea of "selling" or "price," which may reflect a characteristic or event related to his life or lineage.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the context of ancient Israel, names often held significant meanings and were sometimes reflective of circumstances surrounding a person's birth or life. Mechir, as a descendant of Joseph, belonged to the tribe of Manasseh, one of the tribes of Israel. The tribe of Manasseh was known for its significant land holdings on both sides of the Jordan River. Mechir's descendants, known as the Machirites, played a role in the settlement and military activities of the Israelites.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/4279.htm">machar</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>an Isr.<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Mehir (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> II. <font class="hebrew2">מְחִיר</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/4-11.htm">1 Chronicles 4:11</a>, <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Μα</font>(<font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">χ</font>)<font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">ειρ</font>. <p>[<font class="hebrew2">מַחֲרָאָה</font>], <font class="hebrew2">מחראות</font> see <font class="hebrew2">חרא</font>. <p>[<font class="hebrew2">מַחֲרֵ֫שָׁה</font>, <font class="hebrew2">מַחֲרֶ֫שֶׁת</font>] see I. <font class="hebrew2">חרשׁ</font>. <p><font class="hebrew2">מַחְשׂף</font> see <font class="hebrew2">חשׂף</font> <p><font class="hebrew2">מַחֲשָׁבָה</font>, <font class="hebrew2">מַחֲשֶׁ֫בֶת</font> see <font class="hebrew2">חשׁב</font>. <p><font class="hebrew2">מַחְשַׁךְ</font> see <font class="hebrew2">חשׁך</font>. <font class="hebrew2">מַ֫חְתָּה</font>, <font class="hebrew2">מַחְתָּה</font> see <font class="hebrew2">חתה</font>. <p><font class="hebrew2">מְחִתָּה</font> see <font class="hebrew2">חתת</font>. <font class="hebrew2">מַחְתֶּ֫רֶת</font> see <font class="hebrew2">חתר</font>. p. 367.<p><font class="hebrew2">מַט</font> see <font class="hebrew2">מַ֫טָּה</font> below <font class="hebrew2">נטה</font>. <p><font class="hebrew2">מַטְאֲטֵא</font> see <font class="hebrew2">טֵאטֵא</font>. <font class="hebrew2">מַטְבֵּחַ</font> see <font class="hebrew2">טבח</font> <p><font class="hebrew2">מַטֶּה</font>, <font class="hebrew2">מַ֫טָּה</font>, <font class="hebrew2">מִטַּה</font>, <font class="hebrew2">מֻטָּה</font> see <font class="hebrew2">נטה</font>. <p><font class="hebrew2">מַטְוֶה</font> see <font class="hebrew2">טוה</font> <p><font class="hebrew2">מטל</font> (√ of following;
