Strong's Lexicon tocheleth: Hope Original Word: תּוֹחֶלֶת Word Origin: Derived from the root יָחַל (yachal), which means "to wait" or "to hope." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1680 (ἐλπίς, elpis) - Often translated as "hope" in the New Testament, reflecting a similar sense of expectation and trust in God's promises. Usage: The Hebrew word "tocheleth" primarily denotes a sense of expectation or hope. It is used in the context of looking forward to something with anticipation and confidence. In the biblical narrative, it often reflects a deep-seated trust in God's promises and a hopeful outlook towards the future, even amidst trials and uncertainties. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, hope was not merely a passive wish but an active trust in God's faithfulness and covenant promises. The concept of hope was deeply intertwined with the Israelites' understanding of their relationship with God, who had delivered them from Egypt and promised them a future. This hope was both personal and communal, often expressed in the context of waiting for God's deliverance or the coming of the Messiah.
