Strong's Lexicon nedabah: Freewill offering, voluntary offering, willing gift Original Word: נְדָבָה Word Origin: Derived from the root verb נָדַב (nadab), meaning "to incite, impel, or make willing." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1635 (ἐθελοθρησκία, ethelothrēskia): Voluntary worship, self-imposed religious service. - G1435 (δῶρον, dōron): Gift, offering. Usage: The term "nedabah" refers to a voluntary or freewill offering given out of one's own volition, without compulsion or obligation. It is an expression of generosity and devotion to God, often associated with offerings made in addition to the required sacrifices under the Mosaic Law. These offerings were given to support the work of the Tabernacle or Temple and to express personal gratitude or devotion to God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, offerings and sacrifices were central to worship and religious life. While certain offerings were mandated by the Law, freewill offerings were given spontaneously and reflected the heart and willingness of the giver. They were a means for individuals to express their personal devotion and gratitude to God beyond the obligatory sacrifices. The concept of giving freely and willingly was highly valued and seen as a reflection of one's relationship with God.
