The term appears in various passages throughout the Scriptures, illustrating both literal and metaphorical uses. Old Testament References The notion of hiring is evident in the Old Testament, where it is often associated with laborers and shepherds. In <a href="/genesis/30-16.htm">Genesis 30:16</a>, Leah hires Jacob for the night with her son's mandrakes, illustrating the transactional nature of hiring. The Hebrew word for "hire" is often translated as "sakar," which implies a contractual agreement for services rendered. In <a href="/leviticus/19-13.htm">Leviticus 19:13</a>, the law commands, "You must not defraud your neighbor or rob him. You must not withhold until morning the wages due a hired hand." This verse underscores the ethical treatment of hired workers, emphasizing timely payment and fairness, reflecting God's justice and care for all individuals, especially those in vulnerable positions. The book of Job also references hired labor, as Job laments, "Like a slave he longs for shade; like a hired man he waits for his wages" (<a href="/job/7-2.htm">Job 7:2</a>). This comparison highlights the anticipation and dependence of hired workers on their wages for sustenance. New Testament References In the New Testament, the concept of hiring is further explored, particularly in the parables of Jesus. In <a href="/matthew/20.htm">Matthew 20:1-16</a>, the Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard, Jesus describes a landowner who hires laborers at different times of the day but pays them the same wage. This parable illustrates the kingdom of heaven's principles, where God's grace and generosity transcend human notions of fairness and merit. The Gospel of John also mentions hired hands in the context of shepherding. Jesus contrasts Himself as the Good Shepherd with hired hands, stating, "The hired hand is not the shepherd, and the sheep are not his own. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away" (<a href="/john/10-12.htm">John 10:12</a>). Here, the hired hand symbolizes those who lack genuine commitment and care for the flock, unlike the Good Shepherd who lays down His life for the sheep. Cultural and Theological Implications The biblical portrayal of hired workers reflects broader cultural and theological themes. In ancient Israel, hiring was a common practice, essential for agricultural and domestic work. The Law of Moses provided guidelines to ensure the fair treatment of hired laborers, reflecting God's concern for justice and compassion. Theologically, the concept of hiring serves as a metaphor for divine-human relationships. Just as laborers depend on their wages, believers are called to rely on God's provision and grace. The parables and teachings of Jesus often use the imagery of hiring to convey spiritual truths about the kingdom of God, emphasizing themes of grace, justice, and the value of each individual in God's eyes. Overall, the biblical treatment of "hired" individuals underscores the importance of justice, fairness, and compassion in human relationships, reflecting God's character and His expectations for His people.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(imp. & p. p.) of Hire.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/3411.htm">3411. misthotos -- hired, a hired servant</a> ... hired, a hired servant.
