TREASURE (Noun and Verb)
A. Nouns.
1. thesauros (θησαυρός, 2344) denotes (1) “a place of safe keeping” (possibly akin to tithemi, “to put”), (a) “a casket,” Matt. 2:11; (b) “a storehouse,” Matt. 13:52; used metaphorically of the heart, Matt. 12:35, twice (RV, “out of his treasure”); Luke 6:45; (2) “a treasure,” Matt. 6:19, 20, 21; 13:44; Luke 12:33, 34; Heb. 11:26; “treasure” (in heaven or the heavens), Matt. 19:21; Mark 10:21; Luke 18:22; in these expressions (which are virtually equivalent to that in Matt. 6:1, “with your Father which is in Heaven”) the promise does not simply refer to the present life, but looks likewise to the hereafter; in 2 Cor. 4:7 it is used of “the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ,” descriptive of the gospel, as deposited in the earthen vessels of the persons who proclaim it (cf. v. 4); in Col. 2:3, of the wisdom and knowledge hidden in Christ.¶
2. gaza (γάζα, 1047), a Persian word, signifying “royal treasure,” occurs in Acts 8:27.¶
B. Verb.
thesaurizo (θησαυρίζω, 2343), akin to A, No. 1, is used metaphorically in Rom. 2:5 of “treasuring up wrath.” See LAY, No. 17.
