to.dah denotes expressed thanks, especially in sacrificial offerings and in public praise or song before God.

The noun most often occurs in clauses about presenting sacrifices or offerings to the LORD; it also marks expressed thanks in singing, joyful public worship, and direct acknowledgment addressed to God.

1. Sacrificial expression of thanks · dominant

   Singular and plural noun forms occur with sacrifices brought or offered to the LORD. In Leviticus 7:13 the singular construct form stands in the clause rendered by the APB as “the sacrifice of thanksgiving of his peace offering,” while Psalm 107:22 speaks of offering such sacrifices and recounting God's deeds with joy.

2. Public praise, song, or acknowledgment · common

   The singular and plural forms also appear in settings of voiced or organized praise rather than a stated sacrifice. In Psalm 100:4 the APB renders entry into God's gates and courts “with thanksgiving”; Nehemiah 12:31 places plural forms in two processions on Jerusalem's wall, and Joshua 7:19 uses the singular in Joshua's command to Achan to render thanks to the God of Israel.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB often renders the sacrificial clauses with “thank offerings” or “sacrifice of thanksgiving,” as in 2 Chronicles 29:31 and Leviticus 7:13. In praise settings it uses “with thanksgiving,” “thanksgivings,” or a command to give thanks.
