It is used to describe the act of obtaining, acquiring, or receiving something. In the context of Scripture, "getteth" often conveys the idea of gaining wisdom, understanding, or material possessions through effort or divine blessing. Biblical Usage and Context 1. Wisdom and Understanding: The pursuit of wisdom is a recurring theme in the Bible, and "getteth" is frequently used in this context. <a href="/proverbs/4-7.htm">Proverbs 4:7</a> states, "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Though it costs all you have, get understanding." Here, the term emphasizes the value and importance of actively seeking wisdom and understanding, which are portrayed as treasures worth acquiring at any cost. 2. Material Possessions: In some instances, "getteth" refers to the acquisition of wealth or material goods. <a href="/proverbs/10-4.htm">Proverbs 10:4</a> notes, "Idle hands make one poor, but diligent hands bring wealth." The implication is that through diligence and hard work, one "getteth" or gains material prosperity. This reflects the biblical principle that God blesses those who are industrious and responsible with their resources. 3. Moral and Spiritual Implications: The use of "getteth" also carries moral and spiritual implications. <a href="/proverbs/11-16.htm">Proverbs 11:16</a> states, "A gracious woman attains honor, but ruthless men gain only wealth." Here, the contrast is drawn between the honor that a gracious person "getteth" and the mere wealth that ruthless individuals acquire. This highlights the biblical teaching that true gain is not merely material but also moral and spiritual. 4. Divine Favor and Blessing: The concept of "getteth" is often linked to divine favor. In <a href="/proverbs/8-35.htm">Proverbs 8:35</a> , wisdom personified declares, "For whoever finds me finds life and obtains favor from the LORD." The act of finding wisdom is equated with obtaining life and divine favor, suggesting that what one "getteth" through wisdom is not just knowledge but a deeper relationship with God. Theological Significance The use of "getteth" in the Bible underscores the active role individuals must play in their spiritual and moral development. It suggests that while God's grace is freely given, there is an expectation of human effort in seeking wisdom, understanding, and righteousness. This aligns with the broader biblical narrative that emphasizes both divine sovereignty and human responsibility. In summary, "getteth" in the Bible is a term that encapsulates the pursuit and acquisition of both material and spiritual goods. It serves as a reminder of the value of diligence, the pursuit of wisdom, and the importance of aligning one's efforts with God's will to receive His blessings.<a name="lib" id="lib"></a><div class="vheading2">Library</div><a href="/library/anonymous/the_general_menaion/chapter_ii_the_service_common.htm">The Service Common to the Festivals of the Holy virgin.</a> ...
