1. offering, sacrifice (presented to God) — A religious offering or sacrifice presented to God, encompassing both the act of offering and the thing offered. Used in Hebrews and Ephesians for Christ's self-sacrifice and for the general concept of gifts brought before God. Multilingual evidence is uniform across singular and plural: Spanish 'ofrenda/ofrendas' (offering/s), Arabic 'taqdima/qurbān/qarābīn' (presentation/sacrifice/offerings), Korean '예물/제물' (gift/sacrifice), Swahili 'sadaka/matoleo' (sacrifice/offerings), Hindi 'भेंट/चढ़ावे' (gift/offerings). The two clusters split only on grammatical number (singular vs plural) with no semantic distinction. 9×
