Strong's Lexicon Tob: Good, pleasant, agreeable, beneficial Original Word: טוֹב Word Origin: Derived from the root verb טוֹב (tov), which means "to be good" or "to be pleasing." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Greek 18: ἀγαθός (agathos) - often translated as "good" in the New Testament. - Strong's Greek 2570: καλός (kalos) - meaning "beautiful" or "good." Usage: The Hebrew word "Tob" is commonly used in the Old Testament to describe that which is good, pleasant, or beneficial. It is often used to describe moral goodness, aesthetic beauty, or practical benefit. The term can refer to the goodness of God, the quality of the land, or the character of individuals. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of "good" was deeply tied to the character and nature of God. The creation narrative in Genesis repeatedly uses "Tob" to describe God's creation, emphasizing the inherent goodness of what God has made. This reflects a worldview where goodness is seen as an intrinsic quality of God's work and character.
