Strong's Lexicon zabad: To endow, to give, to bestow Original Word: זַָבַד Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "zabad," the concept of giving or bestowing is captured in Greek by words such as "δίδωμι" (didōmi - Strong's Greek 1325), which means to give or grant. Usage: The Hebrew verb "zabad" primarily means to give or bestow, often with the connotation of a generous or significant gift. It is used in contexts where a gift or endowment is given, sometimes implying a divine or royal bestowal. The term can also suggest the idea of providing or supplying something of value. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the act of giving or bestowing was a significant social and religious practice. Gifts were often given to honor guests, establish alliances, or show favor. In the context of the Bible, gifts could also symbolize God's blessings or favor upon individuals or nations. The concept of endowment was not only material but could also be spiritual or relational, reflecting the covenantal relationship between God and His people.
