a vowed pledge
| Root | נדר (n-d-r) |
| Core Meanings | to vow, to dedicate by promise, to bind oneself by a pledge |
| Semantic Range | a vow made to God, a binding promise, a votive commitment, the thing promised or dedicated under vow |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical thought, a נֶדֶר represents a solemn, voluntary act of binding oneself before YHWH. It underscores personal accountability, covenant faithfulness, and the seriousness of speech and devotion in Israel’s worship life. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in the absolute state (HNcmsa), from the verbal root נדר (Qal: to vow). It denotes the concrete or formalized result of the act of vowing. |
