It is used to describe the might or force of an individual, a group, or even a concept. In the biblical context, it can refer to the strength of a warrior, the power of God, or the fortitude of a person's character.<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. Physical strength was essential for survival in a world where warfare and manual labor were common. However, the biblical narrative frequently emphasizes that true strength comes from reliance on God rather than mere human ability. This perspective is rooted in the covenant relationship between God and Israel, where God is seen as the ultimate source of power and protection.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/2388.htm">chazaq</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>strength<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>power (1), powerful (3), strength (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">חֹ֫זֶק</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>strength</b></font>; — <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">ח</font> construct <a href="/interlinear/exodus/13-3.htm">Exodus 13:3</a> 3t.; <font class="hebrew2">חָזְקֵנוּ</font> <a href="/interlinear/amos/6-13.htm">Amos 6:13</a>; — <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>1</b></font> of <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">י</font>, <font class="hebrew2">יַד</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">ח</font> <a href="/interlinear/exodus/13-3.htm">Exodus 13:3</a>,14,16 (all J E). <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>2</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>national strength</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/amos/6-13.htm">Amos 6:13</a>; <a href="/interlinear/haggai/2-22.htm">Haggai 2:22</a>. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>strength <p>From <a href="/hebrew/2388.htm">chazaq</a>; power -- strength. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/2388.htm">chazaq</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>בְּחֹ֣זֶק בְחָזְקֵ֔נוּ בחזק בחזקנו חֹ֖זֶק חזק ḇə·ḥā·zə·qê·nū bə·ḥō·zeq beChozek ḇəḥāzəqênū bəḥōzeq Chozek ḥō·zeq ḥōzeq vechazeKenu<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/exodus/13-3.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Exodus 13:3</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/exodus/13.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">עֲבָדִ֔ים כִּ֚י <b> בְּחֹ֣זֶק </b> יָ֔ד הוֹצִ֧יא</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/exodus/13.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> of slavery; <span class="itali">for by a powerful</span> hand<br><a href="/kjvs/exodus/13.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> of bondage; <span class="itali">for by strength</span> of hand<br><a href="/interlinear/exodus/13-3.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> of slavery by <span class="itali">A powerful</span> hand brought<p><b><a href="/text/exodus/13-14.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Exodus 13:14</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/exodus/13.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">וְאָמַרְתָּ֣ אֵלָ֔יו <b> בְּחֹ֣זֶק </b> יָ֗ד הוֹצִיאָ֧נוּ</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/exodus/13.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> then you shall say <span class="itali">to him, 'With a powerful</span> hand<br><a href="/kjvs/exodus/13.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> What [is] this?
