It is used to describe gifts or offerings that are of high quality and are often given as tokens of respect or honor. The term emphasizes the desirability and worth of the items being described.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the giving of gifts was a common practice to show respect, allegiance, or to establish and maintain relationships. Gifts were often exchanged between kings, dignitaries, and individuals as a sign of goodwill or to secure favor. The concept of "migdanah" reflects the importance placed on the quality and value of these gifts, which were often chosen with care to reflect the giver's esteem for the recipient.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/4022.htm">meged</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a choice or excellent thing<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>choice presents (1), precious things (2), valuables (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">מִגְדָּנָה</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>choice of excellent thing</b></font>;
