A point, (Matthew 5:18; Luke 16:17), the minute point or stroke added to some letters of the Hebrew alphabet to distinguish them from others which they resemble; hence, the very least point. (n.) A particle; a minute part; a jot; an iota.TITTLE

tit'-'-l (keraia (Westcott-Hort, kerea), from keras, "a horn"): A small stroke or mark, specif. on a letter to denote accent, or as a diacritical mark; used only in Matthew 5:18 and Luke 16:17. In the first passage it is used in connection with iota, or jot, i.e. the very smallest thing, and in both it refers to the minutiae of the Law. It is well known that the scribes paid the greatest attention to such marks attached to the letters in the Hebrew Scriptures, the Massoretic Text of which abounds in them.

A "tittle" is a small mark or stroke in writing, often used to denote the smallest part of a letter. In the context of the Bible, the term is most famously referenced in the New Testament, specifically in the Gospel of Matthew. The word "tittle" is derived from the Greek word "keraia," which refers to a small stroke or projection in Hebrew letters, akin to the dot of an "i" or the cross of a "t."

Biblical Reference:

The concept of a tittle is mentioned in Matthew 5:18, where Jesus emphasizes the enduring authority and precision of the Law. The Berean Standard Bible (BSB) translates this verse as follows: "For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not a single jot, not a stroke of a pen, will disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished." Here, "jot" refers to the smallest letter in the Hebrew alphabet, "yodh," and "stroke of a pen" is understood to mean "tittle."

Theological Significance:

The mention of a tittle underscores the importance of every detail in the Scriptures. Jesus' statement in Matthew 5:18 highlights the belief in the divine inspiration and inerrancy of the Bible, suggesting that even the smallest components of the Law are significant and will be fulfilled. This reflects a high view of Scripture, where every word and letter is considered purposeful and authoritative.

Interpretation and Application:

From a conservative Christian perspective, the reference to a tittle serves as a reminder of the meticulous care with which God's Word has been preserved and transmitted through generations. It affirms the belief that the Scriptures are complete and perfect, down to the smallest detail. This passage is often cited in discussions about the reliability and trustworthiness of the Bible, reinforcing the idea that God's promises and commands are unchanging and eternal.

Historical Context:

In the time of Jesus, the scribes and teachers of the Law were known for their detailed and precise copying of the Scriptures. The reference to a tittle would have resonated with Jesus' audience, who understood the meticulous nature of scriptural transcription. This attention to detail was crucial in maintaining the integrity of the biblical texts over centuries.

Conclusion:

The concept of a tittle in the Bible serves as a powerful illustration of the precision and permanence of God's Word. It reflects the belief that every part of Scripture, no matter how small, holds significance and will ultimately be fulfilled according to God's divine plan.What is a jot?
