A verb meaning to remain over, be left as a surplus, or have in excess. It describes what is left over after the basic need is met — the extra, the abundance, the overflow. This concept of surplus and overflow appears in the context of the tabernacle offering, where the people gave more than enough, and in wisdom literature about stewardship.
The concept of surplus appears in one of the most remarkable scenes in Scripture: when Moses called the people to bring offerings for the tabernacle, they gave so much that craftsmen reported to Moses that the people were bringing more than enough — he had to restrain them from giving (Exodus 36:5-7). This is the adaph economy: abundance that overflows from grateful hearts. The New Testament echoes this: the early church had no needy persons because those with abundance supplied those with lack. Grace creates a culture of surplus-sharing rather than scarcity-hoarding.
