Strong's Lexicon techoth: Underneath, beneath Original Word: תְּחוֹת Word Origin: Derived from the root תָּחַת (tachath), meaning "under" or "beneath." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is ὑπό (hypo), meaning "under" or "beneath." This Greek term is used in the New Testament to convey similar ideas of subordination and protection, such as in Matthew 8:9, where a centurion speaks of those under his authority. Usage: The Hebrew word "techoth" is used to denote a position or state of being under or beneath something. It often conveys a sense of support or foundation, as well as subordination or humility. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it can refer to physical positioning, metaphorical support, or hierarchical relationships. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of being "under" something was significant both physically and metaphorically. Physically, it could refer to the position of objects or people, such as being under a roof or beneath a tree. Metaphorically, it often implied protection, support, or submission. The idea of being under God's protection or authority was a common theme, reflecting the cultural understanding of divine sovereignty and human humility.
