(1) נגשׂ , nāghas (Deuteronomy 15:2 , Deuteronomy 15:3; 2 Kings 23:35; Isaiah 58:3 ), to secure by force or pressure interest or money for tribute, and perhaps, in Isaiah 58:3 , labor or toil; but compare the Revised Version, margin "oppress all your laborers"; probably better with a slight change of text, "exact money lent on pledges" (reading for עבט בּידכם , ‛ăbhōṭ beyedhekhem , עצּביכם , ‛accebhēkhem ).
(2) נשׁא , nāshā' , or נשׁה , nāshāh (Nehemiah 5:7 , Nehemiah 5:10 (the King James Version not the Revised Version (British and American)), 11; Job 11:6 (but see below); Psalm 89:22 ), to demand interest, to be a harsh and importunate creditor, a practice which Nehemiah asks the Jews to forego. Job 11:6 better with the Revised Version, margin for "exact," "causeth to be forgotten."
(3) יוצא , yōcē' (2 Kings 15:20 (if text is correct)). Menahem secured the tribute which the king of Assyria demanded by levying a tax on the chief men of his kingdom.
(4) πράσσειν , prássein (Luke 3:13 the King James Version (compare Daniel 11:20 Septuagint); 1 Macc 10:35 the Revised Version (British and American)), to demand money or tribute or taxes of anyone.
