Property, possessions, or goods; movable wealth including livestock, belongings, and spoil taken in conquest.
A general term for accumulated material wealth and movable property, appearing frequently in Genesis and Chronicles. When Abram departed from Haran, he took all his rekush -- his possessions (Gen 12:5), and when Lot's goods were seized in battle, the same word names the plunder carried off (Gen 14:11-16). The semantic range stretches from peaceful estate-holdings to wartime spoil. Arabic distinguishes amwal (general wealth) from ghanima (spoil/booty), while Spanish shifts between hacienda (estate) and bienes (goods), reflecting a subtle but real distinction between settled property and portable chattels that the Hebrew covers with a single word.
Senses
1. property, possessions, wealth — The broad term for owned property, possessions, or accumulated wealth of any kind -- livestock, land-holdings, and material assets belonging to a person or household. Abram's possessions leaving Haran (Gen 12:5), the too-great wealth preventing Abram and Lot from dwelling together (Gen 13:6), and the royal estates overseen by David's stewards (1 Chr 27:31) all employ this general sense. Spanish hacienda and German Besitz/Habe reflect its breadth. 22×

2. goods, spoil, movable belongings — Movable goods, belongings, or spoil acquired through migration, journey, or military conquest, distinguished from settled wealth by its portable and often transactional nature. The spoil of the Moabite camp (2 Chr 20:25), the goods provided to returning exiles by their neighbors (Ezra 1:4, 6), and the riches distributed by the northern king (Dan 11:24) all carry this nuance. Arabic ghanima (booty) and amtia (chattels) parse this portable-goods sense distinctly. 6×
