Berean Strong's Lexicon nedab: Freewill offering, voluntary gift Original Word: נֵדָב Word Origin: Derived from the root נָדַב (nadab), which means to volunteer or to offer freely. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1435 (δῶρον, doron): A gift or offering, often used in the context of offerings to God. - G5486 (χάρισμα, charisma): A gift of grace, often used to describe spiritual gifts given by the Holy Spirit. Usage: The term "nedab" refers to a voluntary offering or gift given freely and willingly, without compulsion. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it often pertains to offerings made to God that are not required by law but are given out of a heart of generosity and devotion. These offerings are expressions of gratitude, worship, and dedication to God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, offerings and sacrifices were central to religious life and worship. While certain offerings were mandated by the Mosaic Law, freewill offerings were given at the discretion of the individual. They were a means for the Israelites to express their personal devotion and gratitude to God beyond the obligatory sacrifices. This practice underscored the importance of the heart's intention in worship, emphasizing that God values the willingness and sincerity of the giver.
