It is used to describe physical strength, stability, or the firmness of character. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it often implies a sense of enduring strength or resilience, whether in a physical, moral, or spiritual sense.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, strength was a highly valued trait, often associated with leadership, protection, and divine favor. The concept of strength was not limited to physical prowess but extended to moral and spiritual fortitude. The Hebrew people, living in a land often fraught with conflict and challenges, would have deeply appreciated the notion of strength as a divine attribute and a personal virtue.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) probably of foreign origin<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a foundation<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>foundations (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">אשׁ</font> K<sup>§ 55, 5 c</sup>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font><sup>Ezra 6:3</sup> <font size="+1"><b>foundation</b></font> (probably loan-word from Assyrian <i><em>uššû</em></i>, <em>id.</em>, √ <font class="hebrew2">אשׁשׁ</font> (see Biblical Hebrew), so Zim<sup>KAT 3. 649</sup>;
