goodz ( רכוּשׁ , rekhūsh , טוּב , ṭūbh ; τὰ ὑπάρχοντα , tá hupárchonta ): In the Old Testament rekhūsh ("substance") is most frequently translated "goods," as in Genesis 14:11 , Genesis 14:12 , Genesis 14:16 , Genesis 14:21 , etc.; ṭūbh is also 3 times so translated in the King James Version ( Genesis 24:10 , the Revised Version (British and American) "goodly things," margin "all the goods"; Nehemiah 9:25 , the Revised Version (British and American) "good things"; Job 20:21 , the Revised Version (British and American) "prosperity"). Other words, are 'ōn ( Job 20:10 , the Revised Version (British and American) "wealth"); ḥayı̄l ("force," Numbers 31:9; Zephaniah 1:13 , the Revised Version (British and American) "wealth"); ṭōbh ( Deuteronomy 28:11 , the Revised Version (British and American) "for good"; Ecclesiastes 5:11 ); melā'khāh ("work," Exodus 22:8 , Exodus 22:11 ); nikhṣı̄n (Aramaic "riches," Ezra 6:8; Ezra 7:26 ); kinyān , "getting" ( Ezekiel 38:12 f). We have ta huparchonta (literally, "the things existing") in Matthew 24:47 , "ruler over all his goods," the Revised Version (British and American) "all that he hath," etc. Agathós is translated "goods" in Luke 12:18 f; skeúos ("instrument") in Matthew 12:29; Mark 3:27; tá sá ("the things belonging to thee") in Luke 6:30; ousı́a ("substance") in Luke 15:12 , the Revised Version (British and American) "substance"; húparxis ("existence," "substance") in Acts 2:45; ploutéō ("to be rich") in Revelation 3:17 , the Revised Version (British and American) "have gotten riches." In the Revised Version (British and American) "goods" stands instead of "carriage" ( Judges 18:21 ), of "stuff" ( Luke 17:31 ), of "good" ( 1 John 3:17 ). "Goods" was used in the sense of "possessions" generally; frequently in this sense in Apocrypha (1 Esdras 6:32); ta huparchonta (Tobit 1:20); Ecclesiasticus 5:1, "Set not thy heart upon thy goods" ( cḥrḗma ), etc.
