acquaintance, friend, associate
A term for someone known personally, an acquaintance or friend. Both occurrences appear in 2 Kings 12 regarding temple repair finances during Jehoash's reign. The priests were to receive funds for temple repair from 'their acquaintances'—people they knew personally. When the system failed, the king intervened, instructing priests not to take money from 'their acquaintances' anymore. The term emphasizes personal relationship networks through which financial transactions occurred, reflecting how ancient economies operated through personal connections rather than impersonal institutions.

1. sense 1 — Personal acquaintances or friends, used in 2 Kings 12:5, 7 for people from whom the priests received money for temple repairs. The system assumed personal networks—priests would collect from people they knew. When this proved inadequate for the needed repairs, King Jehoash changed the funding mechanism, telling priests not to take money from 'their acquaintances' but to deposit donations in a collection box. Cross-linguistic evidence (Spanish conocido/conocidos) emphasizes the personal knowledge aspect of these relationships. 2×
