Topical Lexicon
Meaning and Range of Usage

Strong’s Hebrew 3789, kātab, occurs about 227 times, spanning the Torah, Prophets, and Writings. It embraces the full act of writing—inscribing on stone (engraving), drafting on papyrus or parchment, composing literary works, recording royal annals, and issuing legal or prophetic documents. The verb is flexible enough to describe both divine inscription and ordinary human correspondence, underscoring the pervasive role of writing in Israel’s covenant life.

Writing as Divine Initiative

The earliest occurrences show that writing begins with God’s own command. “Then the LORD said to Moses, ‘Write this on a scroll as a reminder…’” (Exodus 17:14). Writing is not merely human invention; it is ordained for the preservation of revelation and memory. Exodus 34:1 records the LORD Himself engraving the Ten Words, while Exodus 34:27-28 presents Moses writing according to divine dictation, illustrating a partnership that guarantees accuracy yet involves human agency.

Writing the Covenant and Law

Writing is foundational to covenant administration. Moses “wrote down all the words of the LORD” (Exodus 24:4) before the covenant meal. Later, “Moses wrote this law and gave it to the priests” (Deuteronomy 31:9); the Levites were to place the scroll beside the ark as perpetual witness (Deuteronomy 31:26). Joshua continued the pattern: “He wrote there on the stones a copy of the law of Moses” (Joshua 8:32). Inscribed covenant documents testify that the people are bound not by oral tradition alone but by an enduring, inspectable canon.

Writing in Prophetic Ministry

The prophets relied on writing to secure and publicize their messages. Isaiah was told, “Go now, write it on a tablet for them… that it may be a witness forever” (Isaiah 30:8). Jeremiah’s scroll episodes (Jeremiah 36:2-32) show writing preserving prophecy against hostile destruction—when Jehoiakim burned the scroll, Jeremiah dictated another “with many similar words added.” Habakkuk was instructed, “Write down the vision and clearly inscribe it on tablets, so that a herald may run with it” (Habakkuk 2:2). Writing thus safeguarded prophecy, ensured broader circulation, and anticipated fulfillment.

Writing in Historical Records and Kingship

Royal courts maintained official chronicles. Samuel “wrote the regulations of the kingship in a book and laid it before the LORD” (1 Samuel 10:25). Numerous summaries cite sources such as “the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel” (e.g., 1 Kings 14:19), indicating systematic record-keeping. 2 Kings 18:17-37 and 2 Chronicles 32:32 show parallel, independently written accounts, reinforcing historical reliability through multiple witnesses.

Writing in Royal Decrees and Administrative Correspondence

Kings and governors used writing to govern distant territories. David dispatched Uriah’s death warrant in a letter (2 Samuel 11:14). Persian officials “wrote in the name of King Ahasuerus… sealed with the king’s signet ring” (Esther 3:12; 8:10). Ezra and Nehemiah include diplomatic letters (Ezra 4:7-23; Nehemiah 2:7-9) illustrating the legal weight of written edicts within imperial bureaucracies and God’s providence through secular documents.

Writing in Wisdom Literature and Poetry

Wisdom writers valorize writing for moral formation: “Let steadfast love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart” (Proverbs 3:3). Parental instruction is to be “written on the tablet of your heart” (Proverbs 7:3), implying learned internalization. Psalms speaks of future generations reading: “Let this be written for a future generation, that a people not yet created may praise the LORD” (Psalm 102:18).

Writing for Personal and Communal Piety

Every household was to display Scripture: “You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates” (Deuteronomy 6:9; 11:20). The king himself had to “write for himself in a book a copy of this law… and read it all the days of his life” (Deuteronomy 17:18-19), emphasizing personal submission to the written Word. Post-exilic communities revived this practice when Ezra “read aloud from daybreak till noon” from the Law he had earlier written and collated (Nehemiah 8:3-8).

Writing and Preservation of Scripture

Kātab undergirds the entire Old Testament canon. From Mosaic Torah through prophetic scrolls to post-exilic compilations, inspired authors committed revelation to writing so it could be transmitted unchanged (Psalm 119:89). Scribes emerged as guardians and copyists (Jeremiah 36:32; Ezra 7:6). This written form enabled meticulous transmission, public reading in synagogues, and later translation (e.g., the Aramaic Targums, Septuagint).

Theological and Ministry Implications

1. Authority. Because God commands and participates in the writing process, the resulting Scriptures carry His unalterable authority (2 Samuel 23:2).
2. Clarity and Permanence. Written revelation curbs corruption of memory and provides an objective standard for teaching, reproof, correction, and instruction (cf. Proverbs 22:20-21).
3. Universality. Written words cross geographic and temporal boundaries—what was “written aforetime” instructs believers today (Romans 15:4).
4. Discipleship. The pattern of leaders writing and people reading models modern ministry: preparation of faithful resources, encouragement of literacy, and devotion to public reading of Scripture (1 Timothy 4:13).
5. Mission. Habakkuk’s “herald running with the written vision” parallels the Great Commission’s call to make disciples of all nations, teaching them to observe all Christ commanded (Matthew 28:20), preserved for us in written form.

In sum, kātab threads through Israel’s covenant life as the divinely sanctioned means of revelation, remembrance, governance, worship, and witness. Its enduring legacy is seen every time Scripture is read, taught, or copied, fulfilling the LORD’s purpose that His words be “written… not for them alone, but also for us” (cf. Psalm 102:18; 1 Corinthians 10:11).
