Occupy

VIEW:33 DATA:01-04-2020
OCCUPY.—The ‘occupier’ of Eze_27:27 is a ‘trader,’ and ‘to occupy’ (Eze_27:9, Luk_19:13) is ‘to trade.’ The original meaning of the Eng. word is to be engaged in anything.
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909


ok?ū́-pı̄: Is in the King James Version the translation of 7 different words: (1) נתן, nāthan; (2) סחר, ṣāḥar; (3) ערב, ‛ārabh; (4) עשׂה, ‛āsāh, either with or without the added word, מלאכה, melā'khāh; (5) ἀναπληροῦν, anaplēroun; (6) περιπατεῖν, peripateı́n; (7) πραγματεύειν, pragmateúein. In almost every case the meanings of ?to occupy? as used in the King James Version in harmony with the common usage of the time have become obsolete. (1) In Eze_27:16, Eze_27:19, Eze_27:22, nāthan meant ?to trade,? and the Revised Version (British and American) reads ?traded.? (2) From ṣāḥar, ?to go about,? was derived a designation of ?merchants? (Revised Version) (Eze_27:21). (3) ‛Ārabh (Eze_27:9) signifies ?to exchange? (the English Revised Version and the American Revised Version margin, but the American Standard Revised Version ?deal in?). (4) ‛āsāh (Exo_38:24) means simply ?to use? (Revised Version), and the same word in Jdg_16:11, with melā'khāh (?work?) added, signifies that work had been done (Revised Version). (5) In 1Co_14:16, ?occupy,? the King James Version rendering of anaplēroun, would still be as intelligible to most as the Revised Version (British and American) ?fill.? (6) ?Occupy? in Heb_13:9, in the sense of ?being taken up with a thing,? is the translation (both the King James Version and the Revised Version (British and American)) of peripatein, literally, ?to walk.? Finally (7) pragmateuein (Luk_19:13) is rendered in the King James Version ?occupy? in its obsolete sense of ?trade? (Revised Version).
