1 voluntariness אֹהֲבֵם נְדָבָה Hosea 14:5 I (׳י) will love them freely; עַמְּךָ נְדָבֹת בְּיוֺםחֵילֶ֑ךָ Psalm 110:3 thy people will be (all) voluntariness in the day of thy host (be ready to volunteer, see Br MP 133); גֶּשֶׁם נדבות Psalm 68:10 generous (copious) rain; בנדבה Psalm 54:8 voluntarily, and adverb. accusative נדבה Deuteronomy 23:24 (see Dr.).
2 freewill, voluntary, offering:
a. including gifts used in erection and furnishing of tabernacle Exodus 35:29; Exodus 36:3 (P); for first temple 2 Chronicles 31:14, second Ezra 1:6; Ezra 8:28.
b. including עולה and שׁלמים Ezekiel 46:42; probably also Amos 4:5, נדבות פִי Psalm 119:108.
c. usually a זֶבַח for festival meals at Passover 2 Chronicles 35:8, Pentecost Deuteronomy 16:10, Tabernacles Ezra 3:5 (besides the ritual offerings); distinguished from נֶדֶר votive offering Leviticus 7:16; Numbers 15:3; Numbers 29:39 (P), Leviticus 22:18,21,23; Leviticus 23:38 (H), Deuteronomy 12:6,17. — (Verbs used are ׳הביא נ Exodus 35:29; Exodus 36:3; ׳הקריב נ Leviticus 22:18; ׳עשׂה נ Numbers 15:3; Ezekiel 46:12; ׳נתן נ Leviticus 23:38; Deuteronomy 16:10.)
נְדָבָה f.
(1) free-will, readiness of mind (to give); whence בִּנְדָבָה Numbers 15:3 Psalm 54:8 and acc. נְדָבָה Deuteronomy 23:24; Hosea 14:5 freely, with a willing mind. Plur. Psalms 110:3, עַמְּךָ נְדָבוֹת “thy people are willingnesses;” i.e. very prompt for military service [?], abstr. for concr.
(2) a spontaneous offering, Ezra 1:4 (compare verse Ezra 1:7), especially a freewill sacrifice, opp. to one that has been vowed (נֵדֶר); Exodus 35:29; Leviticus 22:23, נְדָבָה תַּעֲשֶׂה אֹתוֹ “as a voluntary sacrifice thou mayeat offer it.” One who offers spontaneously, and with a willing mind, is not sparing but gives with a large hand; hence
(3) largeness, abundance, Psalms 68:10, גֶּשֶׁם נְדָבוֹת “abundant, copious rain.”
