Strong's Hebrew · H4117
H4117 mâhar
מָהַר
maw-har'
to pay brideprice
Looking for Greek G4117 plégma? It has the same number in Strong's Greek lexicon but is a different word, not a translation of H4117. Strong's numbering starts again for each language.
mâhar appears twice in Scripture, both in Exodus 22:16. In the Doxa app, open that verse, keep your notes on it, and ask Doxa Engage how it connects to what God has said to you.
Definition
to bargain (for a wife), i.e. to wed
In the King James Version
endow, × surely.
Derivation
a primitive root (perhaps rather the same as H4116 (מָהַר) through the idea of readiness in assent);
Appears 2 times in Scripture
“If a man seduces a virgin who is not pledged in marriage and sleeps with her, he must pay the full dowry for her to be his wife.”
