Word Origin: Derived from the root verb נָדַר (nadar), meaning "to vow" or "to make a vow."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G1435 (δῶρον, dōron): Refers to a gift or offering, often used in the context of offerings made to God.
• G2171 (εὐχή, euchē): Refers to a prayer or vow, indicating a promise made to God.
• G3671 (ὁρκισμός, horkismos): Refers to an oath or solemn promise, similar to a vow.

The concept of נֶדֶר underscores the importance of making and keeping promises, particularly those made to God, as an expression of faith and devotion.

Usage: The term נֶדֶר is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe vows made by individuals to God, often in the context of seeking divine favor or expressing gratitude. These vows could involve offerings, sacrifices, or other acts of devotion.

Context: • Biblical Context: The concept of נֶדֶר is significant in the Hebrew Bible, where making and fulfilling vows is seen as a serious and sacred act. Vows are often made in times of distress or need, with the promise to perform certain actions or offer sacrifices if God grants a request. The fulfillment of vows is emphasized as a moral and religious obligation.
• Scriptural Examples:
• In Genesis 28:20-22, Jacob makes a vow to God, promising that if God protects him and provides for him, he will dedicate a tenth of his possessions to God.
• In Numbers 30:2, the importance of keeping vows is highlighted: "When a man makes a vow to the LORD or swears an oath to bind himself with a pledge, he must not break his word; he must do everything he has promised."
• In Judges 11:30-31, Jephthah makes a vow to the LORD, which has significant consequences for his family.
• Religious Significance: Vows are seen as a form of worship and commitment to God. They reflect the seriousness of one's relationship with the divine and the importance of integrity and faithfulness in fulfilling one's promises.
