Strong's Lexicon oth: Sign, token, mark, miracle Original Word: אוֹת Word Origin: Derived from a primitive root in Hebrew, related to the concept of appearing or coming forth. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4592 (σημεῖον, sēmeion): Often used in the New Testament to denote a sign or miracle, similar to the Hebrew "oth." Usage: The Hebrew word "oth" is used in the Bible to denote a sign or a token. It often refers to a visible or tangible indication of something significant, such as a divine promise, covenant, or miraculous event. In the context of the Old Testament, "oth" can signify a range of things from a physical mark to a supernatural occurrence that serves as evidence of God's intervention or presence. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, signs and tokens were commonly used to convey messages or confirm agreements. In the biblical context, "oth" often represents God's communication with His people, providing assurance, guidance, or a reminder of His covenant. For example, the rainbow after the flood was a sign of God's promise to Noah (Genesis 9:12-17). Signs were also used to authenticate the messages of prophets or the authority of leaders, as seen in the miracles performed by Moses and Aaron before Pharaoh (Exodus 7:9).
