The economy was largely agrarian, and many people worked as day laborers or tenants. The concept of hiring was integral to daily life, reflecting the socio-economic structures of the time. In Jewish culture, the Law emphasized fair treatment and timely payment of wages to hired workers (Leviticus 19:13; Deuteronomy 24:14-15).<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/3408.htm">misthos</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to let for hire, to hire<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>hire (1), hired (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">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 3409: μισθόω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">μισθόω</span></span>: (<span class="greek2">μισθός</span>); 1 aorist middle <span class="greek2">ἐμισθωσάμην</span>; <span class="accented">to let out for hire; to hire</span> (cf. <span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>'s Grammar, § 38, 3): <span class="greek2">τινα</span>, <a href="/interlinear/matthew/20-1.htm">Matthew 20:1, 7</a>.
