| Morphological Notes | Gr,TF = transliterated foreign term; indeclinable substantive of Hebrew/Aramaic origin used as a noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | This rendering reflects the borrowed Hebrew concept of something brought near and set apart for God, emphasizing consecration rather than a general gift. As an indeclinable transliterated term, it is represented as a substantive noun without added grammatical nuance. |
