(Strong's #3126 — Noun Masculine — mamonas — mam-mo-nas' )

a common Aramaic word for "riches," akin to a Hebrew word signifying "to be firm, steadfast" (whence "Amen"), hence, "that which is to be trusted;" Gesenius regards it as derived from a Heb. word signifying "treasure" (Genesis 43:23 ); it is personified in Matthew 6:24; Luke 16:9,11,13 .
