Wages
Open directlySchaff's Dictionary of the Bible · 1880
WA'GES. When wages are first mentioned in the O.T., they were paid, not in money, but in kind. Gen 29:15, Ruth 4:20; Gen 30:28; Gen 31:7-8, Gen 31:41. But the Law was very strict in requiring daily payment of wages, Lev 19:13; Deut 24:14-15, and employers who withhold the laborer's wages or refuse to give him sufficient victuals are strongly censured. Jer 22:13; Mal 3:5; Job 24:11. Wages paid in money are mentioned in the N.T. Matt 20:2; Luke 3:14; 1 Cor 9:7.
