Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: This Aramaic term is derived from a root corresponding to the Hebrew נָדַב (nadab), which means to incite, impel, or make willing.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: Strong's Greek 2130 (εὐεργετέω, euergéteó): to do good, to benefit
Strong's Greek 5485 (χάρις, charis): grace, favor, kindness

These Greek terms capture similar themes of generosity and grace, reflecting the spirit of liberality found in the Aramaic נְדַב.

Usage: This Aramaic word is used in the context of generosity or liberality, often in relation to giving or offering willingly.

Context: The Aramaic term נְדַב appears in the context of the post-exilic period, particularly in the books of Ezra and Daniel, where Aramaic sections are present. The concept of liberality or willingness is significant in the context of offerings and contributions to the rebuilding of the temple and the community. The term reflects a heart attitude of generosity, often associated with voluntary offerings and the willingness to support communal and religious endeavors. In the broader biblical narrative, the idea of being liberal or generous is closely tied to the character of God, who is depicted as generous and gracious, and to the expected behavior of His people, who are called to reflect His character in their dealings with others.
