Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The corresponding Greek term in the New Testament that aligns with the concept of a fine or penalty is found in Strong's Greek Number G2209: ἔνδικος (endikos), which means "just" or "righteous," often used in the context of legal justice or retribution. While not a direct equivalent, it reflects the broader theme of justice and appropriate recompense for wrongdoing.

Usage: The term עֹנֶשׁ is used in the context of legal and financial penalties, typically as a consequence for wrongdoing or as a form of restitution.

Context: • The Hebrew word עֹנֶשׁ (onesh) appears in the context of the ancient Israelite legal system, where it refers to a monetary penalty imposed for certain offenses. This concept is rooted in the broader biblical principle of justice and restitution, where wrongs are to be righted through appropriate compensation.
• In the Old Testament, fines were often prescribed for specific transgressions, serving both as a deterrent and a means of restoring balance within the community. The imposition of a fine was a common practice in cases where physical harm or property damage occurred, and it was intended to compensate the victim or society for the loss incurred.
• The use of עֹנֶשׁ reflects the biblical emphasis on justice, where penalties are proportionate to the offense and aim to uphold the moral and social order established by divine law. This concept underscores the importance of accountability and responsibility within the covenant community.
• The Berean Standard Bible (BSB) does not contain a direct quotation of עֹנֶשׁ, but the principle of fines and penalties is evident in various legal passages throughout the Pentateuch, where specific laws outline the consequences for different types of misconduct.
