SIBI-P1 H5081-08

willing-hearted nobles

Morphological NotesMasculine plural adjective (absolute) from נָדִיב, derived from the root נדב ("to be willing, to volunteer"). Functions substantivally here as a noun: "nobles."
Rendering RationaleThe adjective נְדִיבִים is masculine plural absolute, so the rendering reflects masculine plural with "nobles." The phrase "willing-hearted" preserves the root נדב, which conveys voluntary generosity and readiness to give, highlighting that their nobility is rooted in a disposition of free-hearted giving.
