Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and the New Testament is "ἀγαθός" (agathos), which also means good or beneficial. This term appears in passages such as Romans 8:28, "And we know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose."

Usage: The Hebrew verb "tu" or "tete" generally conveys the idea of goodness or pleasantness. It is used to describe something that is agreeable or favorable, often in the context of moral or aesthetic quality. This term can be applied to describe actions, objects, or situations that are considered beneficial or desirable.

This term reflects the broader biblical theme that true goodness is rooted in God's character and is reflected in His creation and commandments.
