- Greek δῶρον renders Hebrew שַׁי as the standard translation equivalent for 'present/gift,' with both denoting an offered item (whether cultic or interpersonal); δῶρον's broader semantic range includes sacrificial offerings explicitly, while שַׁי appears primarily in contexts of tribute or gift-giving.

- The noun for a tribute gift surrendered to another, used of the gift of tribute brought to the LORD of armies at Mount Zion from a distant, feared nation (Isaiah 18:7); the two Psalms citations sampled (68:30, 76:12) do not themselves show the word clearly, likely reflecting a one-verse offset from the actual gift-tribute occurrences at Psalm 68:29 and 76:11 in English numbering.
