Berean Strong's Lexicon atsumah: Strength, might, power Original Word: עֲצוּמָה Word Origin: Derived from the root עָצַם (atsam), which means "to be strong" or "to be mighty." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for concepts of strength and might is δύναμις (dynamis), Strong's Greek #1411, which also conveys the idea of power and ability. Usage: The term "atsumah" is used to denote strength or might, often in the context of physical power or the strength of a group or nation. It conveys a sense of formidable force or influence, whether in a military, social, or spiritual context. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, strength and might were highly valued attributes, often associated with God's power and the military prowess of Israel. The concept of strength was not only physical but also moral and spiritual, reflecting the character and capability of individuals and nations. The Israelites often attributed their victories and successes to the strength given by God, emphasizing reliance on divine power rather than mere human ability.
