It is used in the context of compensation for labor, highlighting the principle of fair reward for services rendered. In the biblical context, it often underscores the ethical obligation to provide just compensation to workers.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite society, labor and compensation were integral to daily life. The agrarian economy relied heavily on hired workers, and the Law of Moses provided specific instructions regarding the timely and fair payment of wages (e.g., Leviticus 19:13, Deuteronomy 24:14-15). This reflects a broader biblical principle of justice and fairness in economic transactions, emphasizing the dignity of labor and the responsibility of employers.<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>wages<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>wages (4).<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">מַשְׂכֹּ֫רֶת</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>wages</b></font>;
