It is a term that signifies a physical or metaphorical mark that sets something apart for a specific purpose or identification.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of marking or setting a sign was significant for identification and protection. The letter "tav" itself, as the last letter of the Hebrew alphabet, has been associated with completion and fulfillment. In biblical times, marking with a "tav" could indicate ownership, protection, or a covenantal sign. The use of marks or signs was common in various ancient Near Eastern cultures for purposes such as sealing agreements or denoting sacred spaces.<div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">תָּו</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>mark</b></font>; — absolute <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">ת</font>, <em>mark</em> on forehead, sign of exemption from judgment <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/9-4.htm">Ezekiel 9:4</a>,6 suffix <font class="hebrew2">תָּוֺוי</font> <a href="/interlinear/job/31-35.htm">Job 31:35</a> = <em>my</em> (written) <em>mark</em> (in attestation). <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>very froward thing, perverse thing <p>From <a href="/hebrew/8427.htm">tavah</a>; a mark; by implication, a signature -- desire, mark. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/8427.htm">tavah</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>הַתָּו֙ התו תָּ֜ו תָּ֭וִי תו תוי hat·tāw hatTav hattāw tā·wî tav Tavi tāw tāwî<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/job/31-35.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Job 31:35</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/job/31.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">לִ֗י הֶן־ <b> תָּ֭וִי </b> שַׁדַּ֣י יַעֲנֵ֑נִי</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/job/31.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> me!
