It is used in contexts where material gain is pursued at the expense of righteousness or justice. The term can imply greed or covetousness, highlighting the moral and ethical implications of seeking wealth through unrighteous means.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite society, as in many ancient cultures, wealth and material possessions were often seen as signs of blessing and prosperity. However, the Hebrew Scriptures consistently emphasize that the pursuit of wealth should not come at the cost of justice, integrity, or obedience to God's commandments. The prophets and wisdom literature frequently warn against the dangers of greed and the pursuit of dishonest gain, urging the community to uphold justice and righteousness.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/1214.htm">batsa</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>gain made by violence, unjust gain, profit<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>dishonest gain (4), end (1), gain (7), illicitly (1), plunder (1), profit (4), unjust gain (4), unjust* (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">בֶּ֫צַע</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>gain made by violence</b></font>, unjust gain, profit — <font class="hebrew2">בֶּ֫צַע</font> <a href="/interlinear/genesis/37-26.htm">Genesis 37:26</a> 7t.
