| Root | נדר (n-d-r) |
| Core Meanings | to vow, to dedicate by promise, to bind oneself by oath |
| Semantic Range | solemn promises made to God, vowed offerings, dedicatory pledges, obligations voluntarily undertaken |
| Conceptual Significance | Vows in the biblical text represent voluntary but solemn self-obligations made before YHWH. Once uttered, they carry binding moral and covenantal weight, highlighting the seriousness of speech, devotion, and personal accountability in Israel’s worship and covenant life. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine plural noun in the absolute state (HNcmpa) from נֶדֶר (neder). No pronominal suffix; simple plural form. |
