וְ֝/עָשִׁ֗יר
𐤅/𐤏𐤔𐤉𐤓
ʻâshîyr
but the rich
An individual possessing significant material wealth, often in the form of land, livestock, silver, or goods; also in select cases refers more broadly to someone of elevated social or economic status. Used both literally (those with abundant resources) and at times metaphorically (someone esteemed, influential, or powerful). While most occurrences designate persons whose wealth sets them apart from general society, on rare occasions it carries connotations of nobility due to the societal association between wealth and social rank.
