Strong's Lexicon nadib: Noble, generous, willing, princely Original Word: נָדִיב Word Origin: From the root verb נָדַב (nadab), meaning "to be willing" or "to volunteer." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for "nadib" is εὐγενής (eugenēs), meaning "noble" or "well-born," which appears in passages like Acts 17:11, describing the Bereans as noble-minded. Usage: The Hebrew word "nadib" primarily conveys the idea of nobility and generosity. It is used to describe individuals who are noble in character, generous in spirit, and willing to give or act. The term can refer to both social status and inner qualities, emphasizing a willingness to act benevolently and with integrity. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, nobility was often associated with leadership, wealth, and social status. However, the biblical concept of "nadib" extends beyond mere social standing to include the virtues of generosity and willingness to serve others. This reflects the biblical ideal that true nobility is demonstrated through righteous actions and a generous heart, aligning with the values of the covenant community.
