Strong's Lexicon towkechah: Reproof, correction, rebuke, argument Original Word: תּוֹכֵחָה Word Origin: Derived from the root יָכַח (yakach), which means "to argue," "to decide," "to reprove," or "to correct." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1651 (ἐλέγχω, elegcho): To convict, to reprove, to expose - G3559 (νουθεσία, nouthesia): Admonition, warning Usage: The Hebrew word "towkechah" primarily refers to the act of correction or reproof. It is used in the context of providing guidance or admonishment, often with the intention of bringing about moral or spiritual improvement. In the biblical narrative, "towkechah" is associated with wisdom and the pursuit of righteousness, as it is through correction that one gains understanding and aligns with God's will. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, reproof and correction were integral to maintaining communal and covenantal relationships. Elders, prophets, and leaders often used reproof to guide the people back to the covenantal laws and to ensure that the community lived in accordance with God's commandments. The concept of reproof was not merely punitive but was seen as a necessary step towards repentance and restoration.
