It is used to denote something given voluntarily without expectation of return, often as an expression of goodwill or favor. In the biblical context, it can refer to offerings made to God or gifts exchanged between people.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, gifts were an important part of social and religious life. They were used to express gratitude, honor, and allegiance. Offerings to God were seen as a way to show devotion and obedience, while gifts between individuals could solidify alliances, show respect, or seek favor. The concept of giving is deeply embedded in the covenant relationship between God and His people, where God is often portrayed as the ultimate giver.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/5414.htm">nathan</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a gift<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>gift (2), gifts (1), give (2), reward (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">מַתַּת</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> id.;
