Definition: Word: Appropriator Definition: In the Bible, "Appropriator" refers to someone who appropriates resources or authority for personal gain, often by exploiting one's position or influence for personal gain rather than fulfilling Godly duties and responsibilities. It typically involves taking advantage of others' positions of trust or power in order to enrich oneself financially. Examples might include: taking a job offer from a friend because you admire them, taking extra work on projects without the proper authority or responsibility, or using someone else's name for an important task, all of which are seen as exploiting that person's position and authority. Appropriator also refers to individuals who misuse power and control in order to enrich themselves. This can include taking advantage of one's position of trust or status to gain favor with others, even if it is at the expense of others' rights and responsibilities.
