They facilitated the exchange of goods across regions, contributing to the spread of culture and ideas. The Mediterranean Sea was a hub for trade routes, and cities like Corinth and Ephesus were bustling centers of commerce. Merchants were often seen as both essential for economic prosperity and as figures of suspicion due to their association with wealth and potential dishonesty.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>1713</b> <i>émporos</i> (from <a href="/greek/1722.htm">1722</a> <i>/en</i>, "<i>in</i>" and <i>poros</i>, "a way of <i>passage</i>") – a <i>merchant</i> using a particular venue <i>to trade</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>from <a href="/greek/1722.htm">en</a> and poros (a journey)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a passenger on shipboard, a merchant<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>merchant (1), merchants (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">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 1713: ἔμπορος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἔμπορος</span></span> (see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">ἐν</span></span>, III. 3), <span class="greek2">ἐμπόρου</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span> (<span class="greek2">πόρος</span>); <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> equivalent to <span class="greek2">ὁ</span> <span class="greek2">ἐπ'</span> <span class="greek2">ἀλλοτρίας</span> <span class="greek2">νεώς</span> <span class="greek2">πλέων</span> <span class="greek2">μισθοῦ</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span> <span class="greek2">ἐπιβάτης</span>; so <span class="abbreviation">Hesychius</span>, with whom agree <span class="abbreviation">Phavorinus</span> and the Schol. ad <span class="abbreviation">Aristophanes</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Plutarch</span>, 521; and so the word is used by <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span>. <p><span class="textheading">2.</span> after <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> <span class="accented">one on a journey, whether by sea or by land,</span> especially <span class="accented">for traffic</span>; hence, <p><span class="textheading">3.</span> <span class="accented">a merchant</span> (opposed to <span class="greek2">κάπηλος</span> a retailer, petty tradesman): <a href="/interlinear/revelation/18-3.htm">Revelation 18:3, 11, 15, 23</a>; <span class="greek2">ἄνθρωπος</span> <span class="greek2">ἔμπορος</span> (see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">ἄνθρωπος</span></span>, 4 a.), <a href="/interlinear/matthew/13-45.htm">Matthew 13:45</a> (<span class="manuref">WH</span> text omits <span class="greek2">ἄνθρωπος</span>).
