Treasure, treasury, storehouse; stored wealth, a building for valuables, or a granary for provisions and cosmic reserves.
Hebrew 'otsar covers both the container and the contained — a treasury building and the treasure it holds. Royal and temple storerooms (Josh 6:19, 1 Kgs 7:51) are the most common referent, with Spanish 'tesoro' and German 'Schatz' both reflecting this dual range. The word takes a cosmic turn in passages like Ps 135:7 and Job 38:22, where God has 'storehouses' of wind, hail, and snow — a vivid metaphor treating natural forces as divine provisions kept in reserve. Proverbs employs it figuratively for wisdom's rewards (Prov 8:21) and warns against ill-gotten treasures (Prov 10:2).
Senses
1. [split] treasury, treasure-house — A dedicated room, building, or vault where valuables are stored — particularly the royal or temple treasury. In Josh 6:19, the captured metals go into the 'treasury of the LORD,' and 1 Kgs 7:51 describes Solomon depositing items in the temple treasuries. German 'Schatzhaus' (treasure-house) captures this architectural sense precisely. The emphasis is on the place of storage rather than the wealth itself, often appearing with the construct state indicating possession (treasury of the king, treasury of the house of the LORD). 1×

2. treasure, valuable possessions — Stored wealth, riches, or precious possessions considered as valuable property. Unlike sense 1, the focus is on the contents rather than the container. When Sennacherib's forces carry away 'the treasures of the house of the LORD' (1 Kgs 14:26), the word denotes the gold and silver objects themselves. Spanish 'tesoros' and French 'trésors' both function the same way. Jeremiah 15:13 speaks of treasures given as plunder; Proverbs 10:2 warns that 'treasures of wickedness profit nothing' — here 'otsar is clearly abstract wealth, not a building. 23×

3. storehouse, granary — A storehouse or granary for provisions, supplies, or cosmic elements. Joel 1:17 mentions granaries lying desolate during famine. Most remarkably, Job 38:22 asks 'Have you entered the storehouses of the snow?' and Ps 135:7 says God brings wind from his storehouses — a striking metaphor treating weather as divine inventory. Deut 32:34 describes God's reserved judgments as 'sealed up in my storehouses.' German and French translations often struggle with this sense, sometimes leaving the Hebrew untranslated. 9×
