Usage: The Greek word "dóron" primarily refers to a gift or offering, often in the context of a religious or sacrificial offering to God.

In the New Testament, "dóron" is frequently associated with offerings made at the temple or gifts given to God as an act of worship. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greco-Roman world, gifts and offerings were integral to religious practices. They were seen as a means of honoring deities, seeking favor, or expressing gratitude. In Jewish tradition, offerings were a central part of worship, as prescribed in the Mosaic Law. These offerings could include sacrifices, tithes, and other gifts brought to the temple. The concept of giving gifts to God was deeply embedded in the cultural and religious life of the people.
