thôt : The most frequent word in the Old Testament ( מחשׁבת , maḥăshebheth , from the verb חשׁב , ḥāshabh , "to think") refers to a "device," or a purpose firmly fixed, as in the passage in Isa (55:7-9) where the "thought" of God and of man are contrasted (compare Psalm 40:5; Psalm 92:5; Jeremiah 29:11 ). In the New Testament διαλογισμός , dialogismós (Matthew 15:19; 1 Corinthians 3:20 ), refers to the inner reasoning or deliberation of one with himself. See THINK .
