Strong's Lexicon nadab: To volunteer, to offer willingly, to incite, to impel Original Word: נָדַב Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1635 (ἐκουσίως, hekousios): Willingly, voluntarily - G1636 (ἑκούσιος, hekousios): Voluntary, willing Usage: The Hebrew verb "nadab" primarily conveys the idea of a voluntary or willing action. It is often used in the context of making a freewill offering or volunteering service. The term suggests an action taken out of one's own volition, without compulsion or obligation. In the Old Testament, "nadab" is frequently associated with offerings made to God, emphasizing the heart's willingness and generosity in worship and service. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, offerings and sacrifices were central to religious life and worship. The concept of a freewill offering, as denoted by "nadab," was significant because it reflected the worshiper's personal devotion and gratitude to God, beyond what was required by law. This voluntary aspect underscored a relationship with God that was based on love and commitment rather than mere duty. The willingness to give or serve was seen as a reflection of one's heart and faithfulness to God.
