However, the concept of a "gift" is captured in Greek by the word δῶρον (dōron, Strong's Greek 1435), meaning "gift" or "offering."<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>Mattenai is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. The name Mattenai means "gift of Yahweh" or "Yahweh's gift," reflecting the common biblical theme of children or individuals being seen as gifts from God.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, names were often given to reflect circumstances of birth, parental hopes, or divine attributes. The name Mattenai, meaning "gift of Yahweh," would have been a testament to the parents' gratitude to God for the child. Names bearing the element "Yah" or "Yahu" (short for Yahweh) were common, indicating the religious devotion of the family.<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>an Isr. priest, also two Isr.<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Mattenai (3).<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">מַתְּנַי</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> (abbreviated from foregoing);
