his binding-vow

Rootנדר (n-d-r)
Core Meaningsvowing, dedicating, binding oneself by promise, consecrating by pledge
Semantic Rangea vow made to God; a solemn promise; that which is vowed; a pledged offering dedicated to YHWH
Conceptual SignificanceIn the Hebrew Bible, a נֶדֶר represents a voluntary but binding commitment made before God. Once uttered, it carries moral and covenantal weight, reflecting the seriousness of speech and the expectation of faithful fulfillment before YHWH.
Morphological NotesCommon masculine singular noun in construct form (נִדְר־) with a 3ms pronominal suffix (־וֹ), yielding "his vow." Occurs three times in this suffixed form.
Rendering RationaleThe noun נֶדֶר derives from the root נדר, "to vow" or "to bind oneself by a promise." The form is masculine singular in construct with a 3rd masculine singular suffix, meaning "his vow." Rendering it "his binding-vow" preserves both the idea of a solemn self-binding pledge and the singular masculine possessive indicated by the morphology.
