Strong's Lexicon yekel or yekil: To be able, to have power, to prevail Original Word: יְכֵל Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1410 (δύναμαι, dynamai): To be able, to have power - G2476 (ἵστημι, histēmi): To stand, to establish (in the sense of being able to stand firm) Usage: The Hebrew verb יָכֵל (yekel or yekil) primarily conveys the idea of ability or power. It is often used in contexts where an individual or group is described as having the capacity or strength to accomplish something. This can refer to physical strength, mental capability, or moral fortitude. The term is frequently employed in narratives where overcoming obstacles or achieving goals is central. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of ability or power was closely tied to one's relationship with God. The Israelites believed that true strength and capability came from divine empowerment. This is reflected in many biblical narratives where human limitations are overcome through faith and reliance on God's power. The verb יָכֵל is thus not only a descriptor of human ability but also a testament to the belief in divine intervention and support.
