It conveys the idea of forcefulness or the ability to prevail over others. In the biblical context, it can describe the might of a person, a nation, or even the power of God.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, strength and power were highly valued attributes, often associated with kingship and divine favor. The concept of "teqeph" would have been understood in the context of military conquests, personal valor, and the demonstration of divine power. The Israelites, surrounded by powerful empires, would have been acutely aware of the importance of strength both in human leaders and in their God.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive
