It is used in the context of social injustice, where the powerful take advantage of the vulnerable, violating principles of fairness and equity.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite society, as in many ancient cultures, social justice was a significant concern. The Law of Moses included numerous provisions to protect the poor and vulnerable from exploitation and oppression. Prophets frequently condemned the leaders and wealthy individuals who engaged in "esheq," highlighting the moral and spiritual decay that such practices represented. The concept of justice was deeply embedded in the covenant relationship between God and His people, and "esheq" was seen as a violation of that covenant.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/6231.htm">ashaq</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a Benjamite<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Eshek (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">עֵ֫שֶׁק</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>Benjamite</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/8-39.htm">1 Chronicles 8:39</a>, <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Ασηλ</font>, <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Ασεκ</font>. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>Eshek <p>From <a href="/hebrew/6231.htm">ashaq</a>; oppression; Eshek, an Israelite -- Eshek. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/6231.htm">ashaq</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>עֵ֣שֶׁק עשק ‘ê·šeq ‘êšeq Eshek<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/1_chronicles/8-39.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">1 Chronicles 8:39</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/8.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3"> וּבְנֵ֖י <b> עֵ֣שֶׁק </b> אָחִ֑יו אוּלָ֣ם</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/1_chronicles/8.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> The sons <span class="itali">of Eshek</span> his brother<br><a href="/kjvs/1_chronicles/8.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> And the sons <span class="itali">of Eshek</span> his brother<br><a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/8-39.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> the sons <span class="itali">of Eshek</span> his brother Ulam<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6232.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6232.htm">Strong's Hebrew 6232<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/eshek_6232.htm">‘ê·šeq — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/6231.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="6231"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="6231" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/6233.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="6233"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="6233" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
