Usage: The word "toshav" is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe individuals who live among the Israelites but are not native-born. These individuals are often subject to specific laws and protections, reflecting their unique status within the community. Context: The concept of a "toshav" is significant in the socio-legal structure of ancient Israel. As a resident alien, the toshav was someone who lived among the Israelites but did not possess the same rights as a native-born citizen. The toshav could be a foreigner who settled in Israel for economic reasons, seeking refuge, or for other personal reasons.
