In the New Testament, "chrusos" is often used literally to describe physical gold, such as coins, jewelry, or other valuable items. It is also used metaphorically to represent wealth, opulence, and sometimes the corrupting influence of material riches.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient world, gold was a symbol of wealth and power. It was used in trade, as currency, and in the creation of idols and religious artifacts. Gold's enduring value made it a standard for economic transactions and a measure of wealth. In biblical times, gold was often associated with royalty and divinity, as seen in the construction of the Tabernacle and Solomon's Temple, where gold was extensively used.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>Cognate: 5557</b> <i>xrysós</i> (a <i>masculine</i> noun) – <i>gold</i>, used also as a symbol of <i>profound purchasing power</i> ("<i>potential</i> acquisition"). <a href="/greek/5553.htm">See 5553</a> (<i>xrysion</i>).</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>gold<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>gold (9).<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">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 5557: χρυσός</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">χρυσός</span></span>, <span class="greek2">χρυσοῦ</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span>, from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down, Hebrew <span class="hebrew">זָהָב</span>, <span class="accented">gold</span> (<span class="greek2">ὁ</span> <span class="greek2">ἐπί</span> <span class="greek2">γῆς</span> <span class="greek2">καί</span> <span class="greek2">ὁ</span> <span class="greek2">ὑπό</span> <span class="greek2">γῆς</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Plato</span>, legg. 5, p. 728 a.): universally, <a href="/interlinear/matthew/2-11.htm">Matthew 2:11</a>; <a href="/interlinear/1_corinthians/3-12.htm">1 Corinthians 3:12</a> (<span class="manuref">R</span> <span class="manuref">G</span> <span class="manuref">L</span> (others <span class="greek2">χρυσίον</span>, which see)); <a href="/interlinear/revelation/9-7.htm">Revelation 9:7</a>; equivalent to <span class="accented">precious things made of gold, golden ornaments,</span> <a href="/interlinear/matthew/23-16.htm">Matthew 23:16</a>; <a href="/interlinear/1_timothy/2-9.htm">1 Timothy 2:9</a> (here <span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> text <span class="greek2">χρυσίον</span>); <a href="/interlinear/james/5-3.htm">James 5:3</a>; <a href="/interlinear/revelation/17-4.htm">Revelation 17:4</a> (<span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> text <span class="greek2">χρυσίον</span>); <BIBLE/CHAPTER_VERSE:Revelation 18:12,16> (<span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> text <span class="manuref">WH</span> text <span class="greek2">χρυσίον</span>); <span class="accented">an image made of gold,</span> <a href="/interlinear/acts/17-29.htm">Acts 17:29</a>; <span class="accented">stamped gold, gold coin,</span> <a href="/interlinear/matthew/10-9.htm">Matthew 10:9</a>.<FOOTNOTE:1> <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>gold. <p>Perhaps from the base of <a href="/greek/5530.htm">chraomai</a> (through the idea of the utility of the metal); gold; by extension, a golden article, as an ornament or coin -- gold. <p>see GREEK <a href="/greek/5530.htm">chraomai</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>χρυσατορευτά χρυσον χρυσόν χρυσὸν χρυσος χρυσός χρυσὸς χρυσοτορευτά χρυσου χρυσού χρυσοῦ χρυσούς χρυσοχόον χρυσοχόος χρυσοχόων χρυσω χρυσώ χρυσῷ chruso chrusō chruson chrusos chrusou chryso chrysō chrysôi chrysō̂i chryson chrysón chrysòn chrysos chrysòs chrysou chrysoû<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/matthew/2-11.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Matthew 2:11</a> <a href="/abbrev.htm" title="Noun -
