Strong's Lexicon tiqvah: Hope, expectation Original Word: תִּקְוָה Part of Speech: Noun Feminine Transliteration: tiqvah Pronunciation: tik-VAH Phonetic Spelling: (tik-vaw') Definition: a cord, expectancy Meaning: The primary meanings of תִּקְוָה are "a cord" and "expectancy" or "hope." It conveys the idea of something that one holds onto or waits for with anticipation. Word Origin: Derived from the root קָוָה (qavah), which means to wait for, look for, hope, or expect. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G18 (ἀγαθός, agathos): Often translated as "good," this term can relate to the positive outcomes hoped for. • G1680 (ἐλπίς, elpis): Directly translates to "hope," capturing the essence of expectation and trust in future promises. • G4592 (σημεῖον, semeion): Meaning "sign" or "miracle," it can be linked to the tangible signs of hope or assurance. • G4864 (συναγωγή, sunagoge): While primarily meaning "assembly" or "gathering," it can imply a collective hope or expectation within a community. • G5287 (ὑπόστασις, hypostasis): Often translated as "substance" or "confidence," it relates to the assurance or foundation of hope. In summary, תִּקְוָה (tiqvah) encapsulates both the physical and spiritual dimensions of hope, serving as a reminder of the steadfastness and expectation that believers are encouraged to hold onto throughout the biblical narrative. Usage: The term תִּקְוָה is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote both a literal cord and a figurative sense of hope or expectation. It appears in contexts where individuals express hope in God or in future outcomes. Context: תִּקְוָה (tiqvah) is a noun that appears in various contexts throughout the Hebrew Scriptures. It is often used to describe a sense of hope or expectation that is directed towards God or a future event. For example, in Jeremiah 29:11, the term is used to convey God's plans for a hopeful future: "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you a future and a hope." In a more literal sense, תִּקְוָה can also refer to a physical cord, as seen in the story of Rahab in Joshua 2:18, where a scarlet cord is used as a sign of hope for her family's safety. The dual meaning of the word reflects the intertwining of tangible and intangible elements of faith and expectation in the biblical narrative. Brown-Driver-Briggs I.
