Strong's Lexicon chazaq: Strong, mighty, firm, powerful Original Word: חָזָק Word Origin: Derived from the root verb חָזַק (chazaq), meaning "to be strong" or "to strengthen." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2478 (ischyros): Strong, mighty - G2904 (kratos): Strength, power, might Usage: The Hebrew word "chazaq" is used to describe strength, power, and might. It often refers to physical strength, but it can also denote moral or spiritual fortitude. In the context of the Bible, "chazaq" is frequently used to describe God's mighty power, the strength of armies, or the fortitude of individuals who rely on God's strength. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, strength was a highly valued trait, both in terms of physical prowess and moral integrity. The concept of "chazaq" was integral to the identity of the Israelites, who often found themselves in situations requiring divine intervention and strength. The term is also reflective of the covenant relationship between God and His people, where God is seen as the ultimate source of strength and protection.
