It is derived from the root עָצַם (ʿatsam), which is associated with might and power. In biblical literature, the concept of a bulwark or a strong argument is significant, as it denotes a position that is well-defended and robust, whether in physical terms or in the realm of ideas and beliefs. The use of עַצֻּמָה in scripture underscores the importance of having a solid foundation, whether in faith, reasoning, or physical defense. This term reflects the broader biblical theme of God as a fortress and protector, as well as the call for believers to be steadfast and unyielding in their convictions.
