Strong's Lexicon Tochu: Middle, midst, interior Original Word: תֹּחוּ Word Origin: Derived from the root תָּוַךְ (tavakh), which means "to be in the midst" or "to be within." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is ἐντός (entos), meaning "within" or "inside," as seen in passages like Luke 17:21, where Jesus speaks of the kingdom of God being "within" you. Usage: The Hebrew word "Tochu" is used to denote the inner part or the midst of something. It often refers to the central or innermost part of a physical space or metaphorically to the core of a concept or situation. In the context of the Bible, it can describe the interior of a structure, the midst of a group of people, or the heart of a matter. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of the "midst" or "interior" was significant in both physical and spiritual contexts. The idea of being in the midst often implied being surrounded or encompassed, which could denote protection, community, or focus. In the tabernacle and temple, the innermost parts were considered the most sacred, symbolizing the presence of God among His people.
