It can describe the literal organ, the language spoken by a people, or the quality and character of one's speech, such as truthfulness or deceit.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the tongue was seen as a powerful instrument capable of both blessing and cursing. Speech was considered a reflection of one's inner character and moral standing. The ability to speak and communicate was highly valued, and the misuse of speech, such as lying or slander, was strongly condemned. The Hebrew Scriptures emphasize the importance of guarding one's tongue and using it to honor God and edify others.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word
