| Semantic Range | good, beneficial, pleasant, agreeable, morally upright, prosperous, fitting, beautiful; as a substantive, good people or good things. |
| Conceptual Significance | טוֹב is foundational in biblical theology, first appearing in Genesis 1 to describe creation as "good." It expresses alignment with God’s intended order, moral uprightness, and experiential well-being, often contrasting with evil (רַע). |
| Morphological Notes | Adjective from טוֹב with prefixed definite article הַ; masculine plural absolute form (-ִים). Used substantivally to denote good persons or good things in the masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form הַטּוֹבִים is the definite masculine plural of the adjective טוֹב, functioning substantivally. "The good ones" preserves the core sense of goodness/benefit from the root טוב while accurately reflecting the definite article and masculine plural morphology. |
