Market, Marketplace

VIEW:28 DATA:01-04-2020

MARKET, MARKETPLACE.—The former is found in OT in Eze_27:13; Eze_27:17 etc. as the rendering of a collective noun signifying ‘articles of exchange,’ hence RV [Note: Revised Version.] throughout ‘merchandise,’ this last in Eze_27:15 being AV [Note: Authorized Version.] rendering of another word for which RV [Note: Revised Version.] gives ‘mart.’ In NT ‘market’ has disappeared from RV [Note: Revised Version.] in favour of the uniform ‘marketplace’ (Gr. agora). Here we must distinguish between the ‘markets’ of Jerusalem (Mat_11:16, Mar_7:4 etc.), which were simply streets of shops—the ‘bazaars’ of a modern Eastern city,—and the ‘market’ (AV [Note: Authorized Version.] ) or ‘marketplace’ (RV [Note: Revised Version.] ) of a Greek city (Act_16:19; Act_17:17). The latter was the centre of the public life of the city, and was a large open space adorned with colonnades and statues, and surrounded by temples and other public buildings.
