Strong's Lexicon dotés: Giver Original Word: δοτής Word Origin: From δίδωμι (didōmi), meaning "to give." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of giving is נָתַן (nathan), Strong's Hebrew 5414, which means "to give" or "to bestow." Usage: The term "dotés" refers to one who gives or bestows something. In the New Testament, it is used to describe God as the ultimate giver, emphasizing His generosity and the grace He extends to humanity. The concept of God as a giver is central to Christian theology, highlighting His provision, love, and the gifts He bestows upon believers. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the act of giving was often associated with social status and reciprocity. Benefactors were expected to give gifts to those of lower status, who in turn were expected to offer loyalty and service. However, the biblical concept of God as a giver transcends these cultural norms, as God's giving is characterized by grace and unconditional love, not requiring anything in return.
