Strong's Lexicon tushiyyah: Wisdom, sound knowledge, success, resourcefulness Original Word: תּוּשִׁיָּה Word Origin: Derived from the root יָשָׁה (yashah), which means to save or deliver. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of wisdom and sound judgment can be related to Greek words such as σοφία (sophia, Strong's G4678) meaning wisdom, and φρόνησις (phronesis, Strong's G5428) meaning prudence or practical wisdom. Usage: The Hebrew word "tushiyyah" conveys the idea of sound wisdom or practical insight that leads to success and effective action. It is often associated with the kind of wisdom that is not just theoretical but is applied in real-life situations, leading to prosperity and well-being. In the biblical context, it is a quality that is highly valued and is often linked with righteousness and the fear of the Lord. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, wisdom was considered a divine gift and was highly esteemed. It was not merely intellectual knowledge but included moral and ethical dimensions. Wisdom literature, such as Proverbs, often contrasts the wise with the foolish, emphasizing that true wisdom comes from God and leads to a life of righteousness and blessing. "Tushiyyah" is part of this tradition, highlighting the practical and successful application of divine wisdom in daily life.
