- Possess002003002019
- The noun for hire, wages, or reward as something received or held, directly shown in the LORD's promise "your reward shall be very great" to Abram (Genesis 15:1), Leah's naming of Issachar for "my reward" (Genesis 30:18), and Jacob's repeated negotiation over his "wages" with Laban (Genesis 30:28, 30:32, 30:33).
- Names of People003001007
- This lexeme's genuine tagged occurrences (e.g. Genesis 15:1, "I am a shield to you; your reward will be very great"; Genesis 30:18, "God has given me my reward"; Genesis 30:28, "Name me your wages") illustrate the common noun "hire, wages, reward," not a proper personal name; this Names of People domain code is bundle-shared from the fact-packet's cognate cluster and carries no tagged occurrence of שָׂכָר (sâkâr, H7939) independently attesting a personal-name sense of its own.
