1. treasure, stored wealth — A treasure, storehouse, or accumulated wealth -- something of great value that is stored or kept safe. Used both literally of material riches (Matt 2:11 'they opened their treasures') and figuratively of spiritual realities (Matt 6:20 'treasures in heaven', Matt 12:35 'the good treasure of his heart'). The two clusters are distinguished only by number: singular (12x) vs plural (5x). Multilingual evidence is uniform: spa 'tesoro / tesoros', hin 'bhandar/dhan / khazanon ko', arb 'kanz / kunuz', kor 'bomul / bomul-deul', swa 'hazina' (same form for both singular and plural in Swahili). No semantic split exists. 17×
