It is often used to describe moral goodness, aesthetic beauty, or practical benefit. The term can refer to the goodness of God, the quality of the land, or the character of individuals.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of "good" was deeply tied to the character and nature of God. The creation narrative in Genesis repeatedly uses "Tob" to describe God's creation, emphasizing the inherent goodness of what God has made. This reflects a worldview where goodness is seen as an intrinsic quality of God's work and character.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/2895.htm">tob</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a region E. of the Jordan<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Tob (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> IV. <font class="hebrew2">טוֺב</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, of a location</b></font> (perhaps from above √) — a region beyond Jordan, north or northeast of Gilead, probably Aramean;
