Semantic Rangegood, pleasant, beneficial, fitting, morally right, beautiful, prosperous, agreeable, kind, joyful, well
Conceptual Significanceטוֹב is a foundational biblical term, especially prominent in Genesis 1 where creation is declared "good," expressing alignment with divine intention and order. It encompasses moral goodness, aesthetic beauty, and practical benefit, reflecting the Hebrew worldview in which what is good promotes life, harmony, and covenantal well-being.
Morphological NotesAdjective, masculine singular, absolute state. Functions attributively or predicatively, and may also serve substantivally to denote a "good (man/thing)."
Rendering RationaleThe form is a masculine singular absolute adjective (HAamsa), so it is rendered simply as "good," preserving its adjectival force and singular masculine agreement. The English term "good" best reflects the root idea of beneficial, pleasing, or fitting quality inherent in טוֹב.
