Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root verb טוֹב (tov), which means "to be good" or "to be pleasing."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G19 (ἀγαθωσύνη, agathōsynē): This Greek term is often translated as "goodness" and is used in the New Testament to describe moral excellence and virtue.
• G1391 (δόξα, doxa): While primarily translated as "glory," this term can also convey the idea of beauty and excellence, similar to the Hebrew טוּב (tov).
• G5544 (χρηστότης, chrēstotēs): This Greek word is translated as "kindness" or "goodness," reflecting a benevolent and gentle nature, akin to the Hebrew concept of טוּב (tov).

In summary, טוּב (tov) is a multifaceted term that captures the essence of goodness, beauty, and welfare in both physical and moral dimensions, reflecting the character of God and His creation.

Usage: The term טוּב (tov) appears in various contexts throughout the Hebrew Bible, often describing the goodness of God, the beauty of creation, or the welfare and prosperity of individuals and nations. It is used to convey both physical and moral goodness.

Context: • Goodness and Beauty: טוּב (tov) is frequently used to describe the inherent goodness and beauty of God's creation. For example, in Genesis 1:31, God saw all that He had made, and it was "very good" (טוֹב מְאֹד, tov me'od). This reflects the perfection and harmony of the created order.
• Moral and Ethical Goodness: The term is also employed to denote moral and ethical goodness, as seen in the character of individuals who follow God's commandments. In Micah 6:8, the prophet declares, "He has shown you, O man, what is good (טוֹב, tov); and what does the LORD require of you but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?"
• Welfare and Prosperity: טוּב (tov) is used to express the idea of welfare and prosperity, often in the context of blessings from God. In Jeremiah 29:11, God promises, "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare (טוֹבָה, tovah) and not for calamity, to give you a future and a hope."
• Gladness and Joy: The term can also refer to gladness and joy, as in the celebration of God's goodness and the joy of His people. In Psalm 16:11, the psalmist proclaims, "You make known to me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore."
