Today we have a very useful expression that is also a common blessing: kol tuv. Every person in Israel uses it daily, and yet it is mentioned in the Bible a few times with the exact words, but as a statement, and not as a blessing like today.

You can mix English and Hebrew and say it as a greeting to anyone who finds favor in your eyes: ‘I wish you kol tuv.’

Here is how it is used in the Bible:

“And houses full of all good things, which you did not fill, and wells dug, which you did not dig, vineyards and olive trees, which you did not plant; when you shall have eaten and be full”

Deuteronomy 6:11

“And Hazael went to meet him, and took gifts with him, of every good thing of Damascus”

II Kings 8:9

“And they captured fortified cities, and a rich land, and possessed houses full of all goods

Nehemiah 9:25
