אֶבְיוֹן adj.
(1) needy, poor, so called from the idea of needing (see the root אָבָה No. 2 ), Deuteronomy 15:4, 7:11. Sons of the needy, for the needy, Psalms 72:4 see בֵּן.
(2) oppressed, wretched, often with the addition of the synonym עָנִי Psal. 40:18, וַאֲנִי עָנִי וְאֶבְיוֹן “and I (am) afflicted and wretched;” Ps. 70:6 86:1 109:22. Specially, like עָנִי used of one who suffers undeservedly, although a pious worshipper of God (whence Amos 2:6, צַדַּיק and אֶבְיוֹן are joined); used also of a whole nation succumbing to miseries, as of the Israelites in exile, Isaiah 41:17 comp. 25:4. In the same signification the sect of the Ebionites adopted this name, as assuming that they were ἐκ τῶν πτωχῶν ὧν ἐστιν ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν, Matthew 5:3.
