SIBI-P1 H2896-21

a good thing

Rootטוב (ṭ-w-b)
Core Meaningsgoodness, pleasantness, benefit, well-being, prosperity
Semantic Rangegood thing, benefit, welfare, prosperity, happiness, pleasantness, moral goodness, favor
Conceptual Significanceטוֹב and its feminine form טוֹבָה express the biblical concept of what accords with YHWH’s design and blessing—what is beneficial, pleasing, and life-promoting. It frames creation as "good," covenant life as "good," and obedience as leading to tangible well-being.
Morphological NotesAdjective from טוב used substantivally; feminine singular absolute form (no article or suffix).
Rendering RationaleThe form טוֹבָה is feminine singular absolute, functioning substantivally from the root טוב (“goodness, benefit”). Rendering it as “a good thing” preserves the feminine singular sense while maintaining the core idea of tangible goodness or benefit inherent in the root.
