It is often used to describe a voluntary or freewill offering, emphasizing the voluntary nature of the giver's action. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it reflects a heart inclined towards generosity and noble actions, often in service to God or others.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, offerings and sacrifices were a central part of religious life. While many offerings were prescribed by law, freewill offerings (nedibah) were given out of personal devotion and gratitude. This concept of voluntary giving was highly esteemed, reflecting a heart aligned with God's purposes and a community-oriented spirit. The cultural emphasis on community and mutual support in Israelite society made acts of generosity and willingness particularly significant.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/5068.htm">nadab</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>nobility, nobleness<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>honor (1), noble plans (2), willing (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">נְדִיבָה</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>nobility, nobleness</b></font>;
