It is often used in contexts where physical, moral, or spiritual strength is emphasized. The term can describe the strength of individuals, nations, or even God Himself. It is associated with the concept of being resolute and unwavering in the face of challenges.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, strength was a highly valued trait, often associated with leadership and divine favor. The ability to prevail in battle, maintain moral integrity, or uphold justice was seen as a reflection of one's strength. The concept of strength was not limited to physical prowess but extended to include mental and spiritual fortitude. In the biblical narrative, strength is frequently attributed to God, who empowers His people to overcome adversities.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to make hot, heat<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>heat (1), heated (1), made...hot (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">אֲזָא</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>make hot, heat</b></font> (<font class="hebrew2">ᵑ7</font> <em>id</em>.
