Strong's Lexicon chozeq: Strength, power, might Original Word: חֹזֶק Word Origin: Derived from the root חָזַק (chazaq), meaning "to be strong" or "to strengthen." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2479 (ischus) – strength, might - G1411 (dunamis) – power, ability Usage: The Hebrew word "chozeq" primarily denotes strength or power, often in a physical or metaphorical sense. It is used to describe the might or force of an individual, a group, or even a concept. In the biblical context, it can refer to the strength of a warrior, the power of God, or the fortitude of a person's character. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, strength was a highly valued trait, often associated with leadership and divine favor. Physical strength was essential for survival in a world where warfare and manual labor were common. However, the biblical narrative frequently emphasizes that true strength comes from reliance on God rather than mere human ability. This perspective is rooted in the covenant relationship between God and Israel, where God is seen as the ultimate source of power and protection.
