Thought

thot: The most frequent word in the Old Testament (machashebheth, from the verb chashabh, "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 Ps 40:5; Ps 92:5; Jer 29:11). In the New Testament dialogismos (Matt 15:19; 1 Cor 3:20), refers to the inner reasoning or deliberation of one with himself.

See THINK.
