Genesis 45:18 טוּב֙ [the] good thing[s] of

Then bring your father and your families and return to me. I will give you the best of the land of Egypt, and you shall eat from the fat of the land.’

Genesis 45:20 ט֛וּב [the] good thing[s] of

But pay no regard to your belongings, for the best of all the land of Egypt is yours.’”

And he sent to his father the following: ten donkeys loaded with the best of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and bread and provisions for his father’s journey.

Exodus 33:19 טוּבִי֙ goodness my

“I will cause all My goodness to pass before you,” the LORD replied, “and I will proclaim My name—the LORD—in your presence. I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”

Here: God's 'good': His kindness, generosity and bounty, and perhaps also His beauty or splendor. It stands in for the 'glory' Moses asked to see. What Moses will meet is God's good character in action, which 34:6-7 spells out.

Deuteronomy 6:11 טוּב֮ good thing

with houses full of every good thing with which you did not fill them, with wells that you did not dig, and with vineyards and olive groves that you did not plant—and when you eat and are satisfied,

Here: Concrete goods: provisions, stored grain, wine and oil, furnishings, wealth. It echoes the 'good' (ṭovot) cities of v.10. 'Good' here means valuable and plentiful, not morally good.

Deuteronomy 28:47 וּבְט֣וּב and with goodness of

Because you did not serve the LORD your God with joy and gladness of heart in all your abundance,

Here: "And with goodness of …" Used with "heart" it means cheerfulness, contentment, a heart at ease. The same root (tov, "good") runs through Deuteronomy's descriptions of the "good land."

2 Kings 8:9 ט֣וּב <the> good thing of

So Hazael went to meet Elisha, taking with him a gift of forty camel loads of every good thing from Damascus. And he went in and stood before him and said, “Your son Ben-hadad king of Aram has sent me to ask, ‘Will I recover from this illness?’”

Ezra 9:12 ט֣וּב [the] good thing[s] of

Now, therefore, do not give your daughters in marriage to their sons or take their daughters for your sons. Never seek their peace or prosperity, so that you may be strong and may eat the good things of the land, leaving it as an inheritance to your sons forever.’

Here: The bounty or best produce of the land (Gen 45:18; Isa 1:19). The returnees had good reason to feel the lack of it.

Nehemiah 9:25 ט֠וּב בְּטוּבְךָ֥ good thing, in goodness your

They captured fortified cities and fertile land and took houses full of all goods, wells already dug, vineyards, olive groves, and fruit trees in abundance. So they ate and were filled; they grew fat and delighted in Your great goodness.

Here: "Good (things)": goods, provisions, wealth. The same noun returns at the end of the verse for God's own 'goodness', so the goods in the houses are an expression of God's generosity.

Nehemiah 9:35 וּבְטוּבְךָ֨ and in goodness your

For even while they were in their kingdom, with the abundant goodness that You had given them, and in the spacious and fertile land that You had set before them, they would not serve You or turn from their wicked ways.

Nehemiah 9:36 טוּבָ֔הּ good thing[s] its

So here we are today as slaves in the land You gave our fathers to enjoy its fruit and goodness—here we are as slaves!

Job 20:21 טוּבֽוֹ׃ prosperity his

Nothing is left for him to consume; thus his prosperity will not endure.

Here: 'His good', meaning his good things: possessions, plenty, well-being. It is not his moral goodness but his material prosperity.

Job 21:16 טוּבָ֑ם prosperity their

Still, their prosperity is not in their own hands, so I stay far from the counsel of the wicked.

Here: Their 'good': the whole good life just described in vv. 7–13 (long life, children, safe houses, herds, music, a peaceful death). It means wealth and well-being, not moral goodness.

Psalm 25:7 טוּבְךָ֣ goodness your

Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my rebellious acts; remember me according to Your loving devotion, because of Your goodness, O LORD.

Here: 'Your goodness': God's good nature and the good things he gives. It sets up verse 8, which opens with the matching word 'Good (tov) and upright is YHWH', the next letter of the alphabet.

Psalm 27:13 בְּֽטוּב־ on [the] goodness of

Still I am certain to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

Here: What is good about the LORD and also the good things he gives: rescue, life, plenty and favour. The singer expects to see it happen, not just to think about it.

Psalm 31:19 טוּבְךָ֮ [is] goodness your

How great is Your goodness which You have laid up for those who fear You, which You have bestowed before the sons of men on those who take refuge in You!

Here: 'Your good': the good things and benefits God gives, His generosity in action. It is less about God's inner moral quality and more about what His goodness provides.

Psalm 65:4 בְּט֣וּב by [the] goodness of

Blessed is the one You choose and bring near to dwell in Your courts! We are filled with the goodness of Your house, the holiness of Your temple.

Here: 'with the good things of': the actual bounty of God's house, chiefly the sacrificial feasts eaten in the courts. It is not mainly a moral quality.

Psalm 119:66 ט֤וּב goodness of

Teach me good judgment and knowledge, for I believe in Your commandments.

Here: A noun, 'goodness', bound to the next word: 'goodness of discernment', meaning good, sound discernment. It also picks up the word 'good' that runs through the whole stanza (vv. 65, 68, 71, 72), so the psalmist asks for a share in the goodness he has just said God showed him.

Psalm 128:5 בְּט֣וּב on [the] good thing[s] of

May the LORD bless you from Zion, that you may see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life,

Here: "On the good of": the preposition be- with 'see' means looking at something with satisfaction. Tuv covers the city's whole wellbeing: safety, plenty, worship going on, families thriving. It is not mainly about money.

Psalm 145:7 טוּבְךָ֣ goodness your

They will extol the fame of Your abundant goodness and sing joyfully of Your righteousness.

Here: 'Your good': both God's generous character and the concrete good things that come from it (rain, harvest, rescue, life). The 'your' makes it his personal goodness, the thing Moses was shown in Exodus 33:19.

Proverbs 11:10 בְּט֣וּב in [the] prosperity of

When the righteous thrive, the city rejoices, and when the wicked perish, there are shouts of joy.

Here: With the prefix bə- ('in, when'): 'when there is good for…'. It means the righteous are doing well, with prosperity, security and good fortune, more than their moral goodness. The line is about how their situation affects the town.

Isaiah 1:19 ט֥וּב [the] good thing[s] of

If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the best of the land.

Here: 'The good of …': what the land produces and the plenty that comes with it, meaning grain, wine, oil and flocks. It is the farm-and-table abundance that the covenant promised, not luxury in the abstract.

Isaiah 63:7 טוּב֙ goodness

I will make known the LORD’s loving devotion and His praiseworthy acts, because of all that the LORD has done for us—the many good things for the house of Israel according to His great compassion and loving devotion.

Here: Both God's good character and the tangible good he gave: deliverance, land, provision. Compare 'all my goodness' passing before Moses (Exod 33:19).

Isaiah 65:14 מִטּ֣וּב from goodness of

My servants will shout for joy with a glad heart, but you will cry out with a heavy heart and wail with a broken spirit.

Here: The prefix 'from' gives the cause: the shout comes out of and because of their 'good heart'. Here 'goodness' means things going well and the gladness that comes with it, not moral goodness.

Jeremiah 2:7 וְטוּבָ֑הּ and good thing[s] its

I brought you into a fertile land to eat its fruit and bounty, but you came and defiled My land and made My inheritance detestable.

Here: The land's goodness or bounty: its best produce and everything good in it. It recalls Deuteronomy's repeated 'good land' (Deut 8:7–10).

Jeremiah 31:12 ט֣וּב [the] good thing[s] of

They will come and shout for joy on the heights of Zion; they will be radiant over the bounty of the LORD—the grain, new wine, and oil, and the young of the flocks and herds. Their life will be like a well-watered garden, and never again will they languish.

Here: Concrete good things, the produce listed next, not only an abstract quality. It is "the good of YHWH": his property and his gift.

Jeremiah 31:14 טוּבִ֥י good thing[s] my

I will fill the souls of the priests abundantly, and will fill My people with My goodness,” declares the LORD.

Here: 'My good things / my bounty.' Verse 12 has just spelled them out: grain, new wine, olive oil, lambs and calves. This is God's concrete generosity in the harvest, not mainly an abstract moral quality.

Hosea 3:5 טוּב֖וֹ goodness his

Afterward, the people of Israel will return and seek the LORD their God and David their king. They will come trembling to the LORD and to His goodness in the last days.

Here: "His goodness," which in Hosea includes concrete good things: the grain, new wine, oil and prosperity Israel wrongly credited to Baal (2:5, 2:8) and which Yahweh promises to restore (2:21–22). It covers both his good character and his gifts.

Hosea 10:11 ט֖וּב [the] goodness of

Ephraim is a well-trained heifer that loves to thresh; but I will place a yoke on her fair neck. I will harness Ephraim, Judah will plow, and Jacob will break the hard ground.

Zechariah 9:17 טּוּב֖וֹ [will be] goodness its

How lovely they will be, and how beautiful! Grain will make the young men flourish, and new wine, the young women.

Here: 'His/its goodness.' The noun covers good condition, prosperity and good gifts, and also fine appearance. The suffix 'his/its' is masculine singular. It could point to the LORD, to his people, or to the restored scene as a whole (see debates).
