Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry in Strong's Concordance is G4974 (συγκρούω • sugkrouō), which means to clash or strike together. While not a direct translation of a club, it conveys the action associated with the use of a club, emphasizing the impact or striking nature of the weapon.

Usage: The term תּוֹתָח appears in the context of weaponry, specifically referring to a club used in combat or for striking.

Context: The Hebrew word תּוֹתָח (totach) is a noun that denotes a type of weapon, specifically a club. This term is found in the context of ancient warfare and personal combat, where it describes a blunt instrument used for striking an opponent. The club, as a weapon, was a common tool in ancient times, often made from wood or metal, and used by soldiers and warriors for close combat. The use of the club is indicative of the hand-to-hand combat style prevalent in the ancient Near East. The term is not frequently used in the Hebrew Bible, which suggests that while it was a known weapon, it may not have been as prominent as other weapons like the sword or spear. The club's simplicity and effectiveness made it a practical choice for many, serving both as a tool for defense and offense.
