It is used to describe the vitality and robustness of a person, often in the context of youth or the prime of life. The term emphasizes the physical capabilities and energy that come with health and youthfulness.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, physical strength and vigor were highly valued attributes, often associated with the ability to work, fight, and lead. The concept of strength was not only physical but also symbolic of divine blessing and favor. In a society where manual labor and military prowess were essential for survival and prosperity, "kelach" represented an important aspect of a person's character and potential.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from an unused word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>firm or rugged strength<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>full vigor (1), vigor (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> I. <font class="hebrew2">כֶּ֫לַח</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font> possibly <font size="+1"><b>firm or rugged strength</b></font> (see √ above), <font class="hebrew2">אֱלֵיקָֿ֑בֶר</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">תָּבוֺא בְכ</font> <a href="/interlinear/job/5-26.htm">Job 5:26</a> <em>thou shalt come in firm strength</em> (with thy body vigorous, powers unimpaired) <em>unto the grave</em>; <font class="hebrew2">עָלֵימוֺ אָבַד</font> <font class="hebrew2">כָּ֑לַךְ</font> <a href="/interlinear/job/30-2.htm">Job 30:2</a> <em>upon whom vigour has perished</em>. <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>full old age <p>From an unused root meaning to be complete; maturity -- full (old) age. <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>בְכֶ֣לַח בכלח כָּֽלַח׃ כלח׃ ḇə·ḵe·laḥ ḇəḵelaḥ kā·laḥ Kalach kālaḥ veChelach<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/job/5-26.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Job 5:26</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/job/5.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3"> תָּב֣וֹא <b> בְכֶ֣לַח </b> אֱלֵי־ קָ֑בֶר</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/job/5.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> to the grave <span class="itali">in full vigor,</span> Like the stacking<br><a href="/kjvs/job/5.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> to [thy] grave <span class="itali">in a full age,</span> like as a shock of corn<br><a href="/interlinear/job/5-26.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> will come <span class="itali">full</span> to the grave<p><b><a href="/text/job/30-2.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Job 30:2</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/job/30.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">עָ֝לֵ֗ימוֹ אָ֣בַד <b> כָּֽלַח׃ </b> </span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/job/30.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> of their hands <span class="itali">to me?
