Strong's Lexicon brachión: Arm Original Word: βραχίων Word Origin: Derived from a primary word meaning "short" Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with "brachión" is זְרוֹעַ (zeroa, Strong's Hebrew 2220), which also means "arm" and is used to describe God's power and might in the Old Testament, such as in Isaiah 53:1, "To whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?" Usage: In the New Testament, "brachión" is used metaphorically to denote strength and power, often in reference to God's mighty arm. It signifies the ability to act with authority and might, emphasizing divine intervention and protection. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, the arm was a symbol of strength and power. This imagery is consistent with the Hebrew understanding found in the Old Testament, where the "arm of the Lord" represents His power to save and deliver His people. The concept of the arm as a symbol of strength was prevalent in both Jewish and Greco-Roman thought, making it a powerful metaphor for early Christian writers.
