Berean Strong's Lexicon tuchah: Sound wisdom, competence, success Original Word: תּוּכָה Word Origin: Derived from the root יָכַח (yakach), which means "to argue, decide, justify, or convict." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Greek 4678: σοφία (sophia) – wisdom - Strong's Greek 5428: φρόνησις (phronesis) – understanding, practical wisdom Usage: The Hebrew word "tuchah" is used to denote sound wisdom or practical insight. It implies a form of wisdom that is not just theoretical but is applied and results in success or competence. This type of wisdom is often associated with righteousness and the fear of the Lord, suggesting that true wisdom comes from a relationship with God and adherence to His ways. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, wisdom was highly valued and often associated with the ability to live a successful and righteous life. Wisdom literature, such as Proverbs, emphasizes the importance of acquiring wisdom and understanding as a means to navigate life's challenges. The concept of "tuchah" would have been understood as practical wisdom that leads to effective living and decision-making, rooted in a moral and spiritual framework.
