Toach/Tohu — personal name of an ancestor of Samuel, variant spelling of Tohu in 1 Samuel 1:1
Toach appears in 1 Chronicles 6:34 as an ancestor of Samuel the prophet, corresponding to Tohu in 1 Samuel 1:1. The variation reflects different textual traditions or dialectal pronunciation. Genealogies served to establish legitimacy—Samuel's Levitical ancestry validated his priestly functions despite not being from Aaron's line. The Septuagint shows further variation, common in proper names across manuscripts.
