57.175 · Possess, Transfer, Exchange · Hire, Rent Out
hired, rented (derivative of μισθόομαι ‘to hire,’ 57.172) that which has been hired or rented (but in the NT occurring only in reference to a rented dwelling) In some languages one may speak of ‘rent’ as ‘money paid in order to stay in a place.’ This may be necessary in order to distinguish such payments from a payment made to purchase something.
