Strong's Lexicon Yukal: Can, be able, prevail, endure Original Word: יוּכַל Word Origin: Derived from the root יָכֹל (yakol), which means "to be able," "to prevail," or "to endure." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1410 (δύναμαι, dynamai) - to be able, to have power - G2480 (ἰσχύω, ischyō) - to be strong, to have strength Usage: The verb "yukal" is used in the Hebrew Bible to express the ability or capacity to do something. It often conveys the idea of being able to accomplish a task, prevail in a situation, or endure through challenges. The term is frequently used in contexts where human ability is contrasted with divine power, highlighting the limitations of human strength and the necessity of relying on God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of ability was closely tied to one's relationship with God. The Israelites understood that their strength and capacity to overcome obstacles were not solely dependent on their own efforts but were gifts from God. This understanding is reflected in the frequent use of "yukal" in prayers and narratives where individuals or the nation of Israel seek divine assistance to prevail over enemies or endure hardships.
