However, the concept of wisdom literature can be related to Greek terms such as σοφία (sophia, G4678), meaning "wisdom."<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>Agur is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. The name is associated with the author of Proverbs 30, who is identified as Agur son of Jakeh. The meaning of the name suggests someone who gathers or collects, which may metaphorically relate to the gathering of wisdom or knowledge.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Agur is a somewhat enigmatic figure in the Bible, known primarily from the introduction to Proverbs 30. The chapter is a collection of sayings attributed to him, and it is part of the wisdom literature tradition in ancient Israel. This tradition emphasized practical living, moral behavior, and the fear of the Lord as the foundation of wisdom. Agur's sayings reflect a humble acknowledgment of human limitations and a deep reverence for God's wisdom.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from an unused word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>"hired," an author of proverbs<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Agur (1).<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">אָגוּר</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> (perhaps <em>hireling</em>, Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb000817.gif">, Aramaic <font class="hebrew2">אֲגִירָא</font>, <img src="/bdbgif/bdb000818.gif"> see PS, Assyrian <i><em>agîru</em></i>, compare Hpt<sup>BAS i. 124</sup>;
