Strong's Lexicon tab: Good, pleasing Original Word: טָב Word Origin: Derived from a root word meaning "to be good" or "to be pleasing." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G18 (ἀγαθός, agathos) – often translated as "good" in the New Testament. - G2570 (καλός, kalos) – meaning "beautiful" or "good." Usage: The Hebrew word "tab" is used to describe something that is good, pleasant, or agreeable. It often conveys a sense of moral goodness or aesthetic beauty. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it can refer to the goodness of God, the quality of the land, or the character of a person. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of "good" was deeply tied to the idea of fulfilling one's purpose or function. Something was considered "tab" if it was functioning as intended or if it brought about a positive outcome. This concept is rooted in the creation narrative, where God repeatedly declares His creation as "good" (Genesis 1). The term also reflects the agrarian lifestyle of the Israelites, where the goodness of the land was crucial for survival and prosperity.
