Strong's Lexicon tom: Integrity, completeness, innocence, simplicity, uprightness Original Word: תֹּם Word Origin: Derived from the root תָּמַם (tamam), meaning "to be complete" or "to be finished." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1506 (eilikrinēs): Often translated as "sincere" or "pure," reflecting a similar concept of moral integrity. - G1342 (dikaios): Meaning "righteous" or "just," which aligns with the idea of living in accordance with divine law. Usage: The Hebrew word "tom" primarily conveys the idea of integrity and moral completeness. It is often used to describe a state of being whole or undivided in one's moral character. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, "tom" is associated with righteousness and blamelessness, reflecting a life lived in accordance with God's laws and principles. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, integrity was a highly valued trait, often linked to one's relationship with God and community. The concept of "tom" was not merely about external adherence to laws but encompassed an inner moral and ethical wholeness. This idea was crucial in a society where communal living and covenantal relationships with God were central. The patriarchs, such as Job and Noah, are often depicted as embodying "tom," serving as models of faithfulness and righteousness.
