hireling
HIRED SERVANT (Heb. sakir; Gk. misthotos). "hireling"
A laborer hired for a limited time (Job 7:1; 14:6; Mk 1:20), as distinguished
from one belonging to his master. Naturally, as a temporary laborer, he would
feel much less interest than would the shepherd or permanent keeper of the flock
(Jn 10:12-13) "hireling."
