Strong's Lexicon tok: Middle, midst, center Original Word: תֹּךְ Word Origin: Derived from the root תָּוַךְ (tavak), meaning "to be in the middle" or "to divide." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3319 (μέσος, mesos) – meaning "middle" or "midst." - G1722 (ἐν, en) – often used to denote "in" or "among," indicating position or location. Usage: The Hebrew word "tok" primarily denotes the concept of being in the middle or midst of something. It is used to describe a central position within a group, space, or situation. This term often conveys the idea of being surrounded or encompassed by other elements, emphasizing the centrality or focus of the subject in question. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of the "midst" or "center" held significant symbolic meaning. It often represented a place of importance or focus, whether in a physical, social, or spiritual context. For example, the "midst" of the camp of Israel was where the Tabernacle was located, symbolizing God's presence among His people. The central position was often associated with authority, protection, and divine presence.
