It can refer to the strength of an individual, a group, or even a nation. The word emphasizes the concept of firmness and resilience, suggesting an enduring or unyielding quality.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, strength was a highly valued trait, often associated with leadership, military prowess, and divine favor. The concept of strength was not only physical but also moral and spiritual. The Israelites believed that true strength came from God, who empowered His people to overcome their enemies and challenges. This understanding is reflected in various biblical narratives where God is depicted as the source of strength for His people.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>fem. of <a href="/hebrew/2391.htm">chezeq</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>strength, force<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>mighty (1), strong (3).<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">חֶזְקָה</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>strength, force</b></font> (strictly Infinitive form from <font class="hebrew2">חזק</font> see Ges<sup>§ 45</sup>. 1 b) — <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>1</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>of urgency of</b></font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">י</font>s hand in prophetic inspiration <font class="hebrew2">בְּחֶזְקַת הַיָד֑</font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/8-11.htm">Isaiah 8:11</a> (compare <font class="hebrew2">חָזַק</font> <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/3-14.htm">Ezekiel 3:14</a>). <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>2</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>of royal power</b></font> <font class="hebrew2">כְּחֶזְקָתוֺ</font>2Chronicles 12:1;
