It conveys a sense of inner strength or courage that is divinely inspired or supported. This word is typically used in contexts where strength is needed to overcome challenges or to stand firm in faith.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, strength was a highly valued trait, both in physical terms and in terms of character. The Israelites often faced external threats from surrounding nations, and strength was necessary for survival and maintaining their covenant relationship with God. The concept of strength was not only physical but also spiritual, as it was believed that true strength came from reliance on God.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/553.htm">amets</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>strength<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>strong support (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">אַמְצָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>strength</b></font>, figurative <a href="/interlinear/zechariah/12-5.htm">Zechariah 12:5</a>, but sense difficult, compare Wr<sup>Zech.
