Strong's Lexicon yahab: Give, provide, ascribe Original Word: יהב Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Greek 1325 (δίδωμι, didōmi): To give - Strong's Greek 5483 (χαρίζομαι, charizomai): To grant, to give freely Usage: The Hebrew verb "yahab" primarily means "to give" or "to provide." It is used in various contexts, often implying the act of bestowing or granting something to someone. The term can also mean "to ascribe," particularly in the sense of attributing honor or glory to God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the act of giving was deeply embedded in social and religious practices. Giving was not only a social obligation but also a religious duty, reflecting one's relationship with God and others. The concept of giving was integral to the covenantal relationship between God and Israel, where God provided for His people, and they, in turn, were expected to give back through offerings, tithes, and acts of charity.
