ma.har denotes making the payment associated with a brideprice, though its specific contribution is unclear in the supplied translation.

The supplied evidence presents ma.har as the action of making a payment connected with a brideprice; both forms occur in Exodus 22:15, although the APB’s restitution-and-wages wording does not isolate the term’s contribution.

    In Exodus 22:15, both מָהֹר and יִמְהָרֶ֥ occur, including a Qal infinitive absolute. The APB renders the verse “If its master is with him, he shall not make restitution; if he is hired, it comes with his wages,” so the translation does not clearly identify an English expression corresponding to these forms.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Exodus 22:15, the APB presents restitution and wages and does not make the lemma’s brideprice-related action identifiable in English.
