and good (masculine singular)

Rootטוב (ṭ-w-b)
Core Meaningsgoodness, pleasantness, benefit, well-being, beauty, prosperity
Semantic Rangegood, beneficial, pleasant, agreeable, beautiful, prosperous, morally right, fitting, favorable, well
Conceptual Significanceטוֹב is a foundational biblical term, first prominent in Genesis 1 to describe creation as "good." It expresses not only moral goodness but functional harmony, beauty, and well-being within God’s ordered world, shaping Israel’s understanding of blessing, righteousness, and divine favor.
Morphological NotesConjunction וְ prefixed to adjective טוֹב (masculine singular absolute; occasionally masculine singular construct in some occurrences). In some contexts the related verbal form (Qal waw-consecutive 3ms of יטב) may appear, meaning "and he did good" or "and it was good."
Rendering RationaleThe form וְטוֹב consists of the conjunction וְ ("and") prefixed to the masculine singular adjective טוֹב. Rendering it as "and good" preserves the core sense of goodness and benefit inherent in the root טוב while accurately reflecting the masculine singular absolute form indicated in the morphology.
