Word Origin: This word is of Aramaic origin, a Semitic language closely related to Hebrew, used in certain portions of the Old Testament.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: G591 (ἀποδίδωμι, apodidōmi): This Greek verb means "to give back," "to return," or "to render," and can be used in the context of replying or responding, particularly in a transactional or reciprocal sense.
G649 (ἀποστέλλω, apostellō): This Greek verb means "to send away," "to send forth," or "to dispatch," often used in the context of sending a message or a messenger, which can involve the act of replying or responding to a request or command.

These Greek entries reflect similar themes of communication and response, emphasizing the continuity of these concepts across the biblical languages.

Usage: This verb is used in the context of responding or replying, often in a formal or official capacity. It appears in the Aramaic sections of the Old Testament, particularly in the books of Daniel and Ezra, where it is used to describe the act of giving a response or answer.

Context: The Aramaic verb תּוּב (tûb) is found in the context of the exilic and post-exilic periods of Israel's history, where Aramaic was a common language of administration and diplomacy. In the book of Daniel, for example, תּוּב is used when Daniel or others are responding to questions or commands from kings or officials. This reflects the formal nature of communication in these narratives. The use of תּוּב in Ezra similarly involves official correspondence, highlighting the importance of communication in the restoration period of Jerusalem and the temple. The verb is typically used in a narrative context, providing insight into the interactions between Jewish leaders and foreign authorities.
