ammi nadib: "My noble people" or "My willing people"

Original Word: עַמִּי נָדִיב
Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine
Transliteration: `Ammiy Nadiyb
Pronunciation: am-MEE nah-DEEB
Phonetic Spelling: (am-mee' naw-deeb')
Definition: "My noble people" or "My willing people"
Meaning: Ammi-Nadib

Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: עַמִּי (ammi) meaning "my people" and נָדִיב (nadib) meaning "noble" or "willing."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent concepts can be found in words like εὐγενής (eugenēs, Strong's 2104) meaning "noble" or "well-born," and πρόθυμος (prothymos, Strong's 4289) meaning "willing" or "ready."

Usage: The phrase "ammi nadib" is used to describe a group of people characterized by nobility, generosity, or willingness. It conveys a sense of belonging and honor, often used in contexts where the people are called to act with a noble spirit or to demonstrate a willingness to serve or give.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of nobility was not solely tied to birthright or social status but was also associated with one's character and actions. A "noble" person was expected to act with integrity, generosity, and a willingness to serve others. This phrase reflects the ideal of a community that embodies these virtues, aligning with the covenantal relationship between God and His people, where they are called to be a "kingdom of priests and a holy nation" (Exodus 19:6).
