It is often used to describe the quality of being good or beneficial, whether in a moral, physical, or material sense. In the Old Testament, "tub" can refer to the goodness of God, the prosperity of the land, or the well-being of individuals.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of "goodness" was deeply intertwined with the covenant relationship between God and His people. The goodness of God was seen as the source of all blessings, including material prosperity, health, and peace. The Israelites understood that living in accordance with God's commandments would lead to experiencing His "tub" or goodness. This concept was not only spiritual but also practical, as it encompassed the well-being of the community and the land.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/7725.htm">shub</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to return<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>answered* (1), give (1), replied (1), restored (1), returned (4).<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">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>desire, mark <p>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/7725.htm">shuwb</a>, to come back; specifically (transitive and ellip.)
