Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The corresponding Greek entry in Strong's Concordance is G18, ἀγαθός (agathos), which also means good, beneficial, or virtuous. This Greek term is used extensively in the New Testament to describe moral goodness, kindness, and that which is beneficial or advantageous.

Usage: This Aramaic term is used in the context of describing something as good or beneficial. It appears in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, particularly in the books of Daniel and Ezra.

Context: • The Aramaic word טָב (tav) is used to convey the concept of goodness or pleasantness. It is the Aramaic equivalent of the Hebrew word טוֹב (tov), which is frequently used throughout the Hebrew Bible to describe that which is good, beneficial, or morally right.
• In the Old Testament, the Aramaic sections where טָב appears include the books of Daniel and Ezra. For example, in Daniel 2:31, the word is used to describe the "excellent" or "good" appearance of the statue in Nebuchadnezzar's dream: "As you looked, O king, there before you stood a large statue—an enormous, dazzling statue, awesome in appearance."
• The use of טָב in these contexts highlights the positive attributes or qualities of the subject being described, whether it be a physical object, a situation, or a moral characteristic.
• The concept of goodness in the biblical sense often extends beyond mere aesthetic or superficial qualities, encompassing moral and ethical dimensions as well.
