Where it appears

Isaiah · 1

  1. Isaiah 23:18 יֵֽחָסֵ֑ן it will be hoarded

    Yet her profits and wages will be set apart to the LORD; they will not be stored or saved, for her profit will go to those who live before the LORD, for abundant food and fine clothing.

    Here: The only time this verb appears in the Hebrew Bible. Related nouns mean 'riches, stored wealth' (Prov 15:6; Jer 20:5). The wealth will not sit as a reserve; it will be used.
