Strong's Lexicon toah: Error, wandering, confusion Original Word: תּוֹעָה Word Origin: Derived from the root תָּעָה (ta'ah), meaning "to wander" or "to err." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with the concept of wandering or error is πλάνη (planē), Strong's Greek #4106, which also denotes error, delusion, or wandering. Usage: The Hebrew word "toah" is used to describe a state of error, confusion, or wandering. It conveys the idea of being lost or straying from the correct path, both physically and metaphorically. In the biblical context, it often refers to spiritual or moral deviation from God's commandments. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of wandering or straying was significant, as it often related to the nomadic lifestyle of the people and their reliance on guidance and direction. Spiritually, it symbolized the importance of adhering to God's laws and the dangers of deviating from His path. The Israelites' history of wandering in the wilderness for 40 years serves as a backdrop for understanding the implications of "toah."
