חסן H2630
be hoarded, stored up, treasured, accumulated
This Niphal verb means 'be hoarded' or 'stored up,' appearing in Isaiah 23:18 in a prophecy about Tyre's wealth. The root is related to Aramaic and Syriac words for strength and possession. Isaiah declares that Tyre's merchandise will not be hoarded but instead dedicated to the Lord, to feed those who dwell before Him. The passive form emphasizes wealth set aside rather than circulated or used.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Isaiah 23:18 prophesies that Tyre's gain 'will not be hoarded or stored up' but will go to those dwelling before Yahweh for food and fine clothing. The multilingual glosses (English 'it-will-be-hoarded,' Spanish 'será-almacenado') emphasize accumulation and storage. The verse reverses typical economic behavior—instead of amassing wealth, Tyre's riches will flow to God's people. The term highlights the contrast between selfish hoarding and generous provision. 1×
