Strong's Lexicon maamats: Strength, effort, exertion Original Word: מַאֲמָץ Word Origin: Derived from the root עָמַץ (amats), which means "to be strong" or "to be courageous." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is ἰσχύς (ischys), which also means strength or might. Usage: The term "ma'amats" refers to the concept of strength or exertion, often in the context of physical or mental effort. It conveys the idea of putting forth energy or making a concerted effort to achieve a goal or overcome an obstacle. In the biblical context, it can also imply moral or spiritual fortitude. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, strength and courage were highly valued traits, often associated with leadership and heroism. The concept of exertion or effort was not only physical but also spiritual, as individuals were encouraged to strive for righteousness and faithfulness to God's commandments. The Hebrew people, living in a land often fraught with conflict, would have understood the necessity of both physical and moral strength.
