SIBI-P1 H5071-02
for a voluntary gift-offering
| Root | נדב (n-d-b) |
| Core Meanings | willingness, voluntariness, generosity, spontaneous impulse to give |
| Semantic Range | freewill offering, voluntary gift, spontaneous contribution, generous donation, willing offering |
| Conceptual Significance | נְדָבָה expresses worship arising from inward willingness rather than obligation. In Israel’s covenant life, such offerings embodied heartfelt devotion and generosity toward יהוה, highlighting that true giving flows from a freely moved heart rather than compulsion. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common feminine singular absolute (Ncfsa) with prefixed preposition ל ("for/to"). Occurs here in singular form, indicating a specific instance of a willing or voluntary offering. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun נְדָבָה derives from the root נדב, conveying willing or spontaneous generosity. The rendering "voluntary gift-offering" preserves both the inner impulse (willingness) and the concrete expression (gift), while the prefixed ל ("for") and the feminine singular absolute form are reflected in the singular construction "for a ... offering." |
