Strong's Lexicon tevah: Ark, Basket Original Word: תָּוַהּ Word Origin: The word "tevah" is of uncertain origin, but it is a Hebrew term used in the Old Testament. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "tevah" in the Septuagint or New Testament, as the concept is specific to the Hebrew Bible. However, the Greek word "κιβωτός" (kibotos) is used in the Septuagint for Noah's ark and the Ark of the Covenant. Usage: The term "tevah" is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a vessel or container. It is most notably used to describe two specific objects: the ark built by Noah to preserve life during the Flood (Genesis 6-9) and the basket in which the infant Moses was placed to be saved from Pharaoh's decree (Exodus 2:3). Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, the concept of an "ark" or "container" was significant for preservation and protection. The ark of Noah is a central narrative in the Genesis account, symbolizing God's judgment and mercy. The basket of Moses, also called an "ark" in Hebrew, signifies divine protection and deliverance. Both instances highlight God's providence and care for His people.
