VOLUNTARY

vol'-un-ta-ri: For the sake of variety the King James Version in Leviticus 7:16 Ezekiel 46:12 (bis) has rendered nedhabhah, by "voluntary offering" instead of the usual "freewill offering" (so the Revised Version (British and American)). The words "of his own voluntary will" in Leviticus 1:3 the King James Version are a pure gloss, properly omitted in the Revised Version (British and American), as they represent nothing in the Hebrew text. 1 Maccabees 2:42 has "voluntarily" as part of the translation of hekousiazo, the Revised Version (British and American) "willingly."
