(עָרִב , arab', Nehemiah 5:3, to pawn anything), a lien upon real estate for debt (Gesenius reads the passage, "we must pawn our houses"); in 1 Samuel 17:18 rendered " pledge," and in Proverbs 17:18 " surety," whence עָרָבוֹן, arabon, "anything given as a pledge or promise" (Genesis 38:17-18; Genesis 38:20). Gesenius thinks the word was probably introduced as a commercial term, from the Hebrew or Phoenician language, into the Greek and Latin, as ἀῤῥαβών, and arrhabo, in the signification of earnest, or purchase-money. (See LOAN).
