It is used in the context of compensation for work done or services rendered. In the Old Testament, "sakar" can refer to both literal wages paid to workers and metaphorical rewards given by God for righteousness or obedience.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, the concept of fair wages was integral to societal justice and economic stability. The Law of Moses emphasized the importance of paying workers promptly and fairly (Leviticus 19:13; Deuteronomy 24:14-15). "Sakar" also reflects the broader biblical theme of divine recompense, where God rewards individuals according to their deeds, both in this life and the hereafter.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/7936.htm">sakar</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>two Isr.<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Sacar (2).<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">שָׂכָר</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine 1.</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>father of hero of David</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/11-35.htm">1 Chronicles 11:35</a>, <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Αχαρ</font>, A <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Σαχαρ</font> ("" <font class="hebrew2">שָׁרָר</font> <a href="/interlinear/2_samuel/23-33.htm">2 Samuel 23:33</a>). <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>2</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>doorkeeper</b></font> 2Sam 26:4, <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Εαχαρ</font>. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>Sacar <p>The same as <a href="/hebrew/7939.htm">sakar</a>;
