It can refer to the strength of an individual, a group, or even a nation. The word emphasizes the concept of might and the ability to exert force or influence.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, strength was a highly valued trait, often associated with leadership and divine favor. The Israelites viewed physical and spiritual strength as gifts from God, essential for survival and success in battles, as well as for maintaining social order and justice. The concept of strength was not only physical but also moral and spiritual, reflecting one's relationship with God.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>fem. of <a href="/hebrew/2392.htm">chozeq</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>strength, force, violence<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>earnestly (1), force (2), severely (1), vigorously (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">חָזְקָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>strength, force, violence</b></font>, always <font class="hebrew2">בְּחָזְקָה</font> <em>with strength, force</em>, etc.;
