Root of the אגר ʼâgar family (4 members).

To gather, collect, or bring together items, typically agricultural produce, but also used more broadly for assembling or amassing objects or resources. The primary use in the Hebrew Bible describes the act of collecting produce from fields or gathering together belongings, harvest, or sometimes people.

Etymology Root אגר, meaning 'to collect, gather, store.' The derived noun form אֹגֶר (storehouse, Prov 6:8) reflects the understood motion of assembling or bringing together. The root conveys the idea of centralizing scattered items or resources.
