Strong's Lexicon tiqvah: Hope, expectation Original Word: תִּקְוָה Word Origin: Derived from the root קָוָה (qavah), which means "to wait for" or "to look eagerly for." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1680 (ἐλπίς, elpis): Often translated as "hope" in the New Testament, reflecting a similar sense of confident expectation in God's promises. Usage: The Hebrew word "tiqvah" primarily denotes a sense of hope or expectation. It is used in the Old Testament to convey a confident anticipation of good, often in the context of God's promises and deliverance. This hope is not a mere wishful thinking but a firm assurance based on the character and faithfulness of God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, hope was deeply rooted in the covenant relationship between God and His people. Unlike the uncertain hope of the surrounding pagan cultures, Israel's hope was anchored in the steadfast love and promises of Yahweh. This hope was both a personal and communal experience, often expressed in times of distress, exile, or waiting for divine intervention. Brown-Driver-Briggs I.
