Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root זָרַע (zaraʿ), meaning "to sow" or "to scatter seed."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek term in the Septuagint and New Testament that aligns with the concept of "arm" or "strength" is G1023 (βραχίων, brachion), which also denotes the arm or might, often used in similar metaphorical contexts to express power or strength. Usage: The word "ezroaʿ" appears in various contexts within the Hebrew Bible, often symbolizing the power or strength of God, as well as human strength. It is used both literally, to describe the physical arm, and figuratively, to convey the concept of power or might. Context: The Hebrew term אֶזְרוֹעַ (ezroaʿ) is frequently employed in the Old Testament to signify both the literal and metaphorical arm. In its literal sense, it refers to the human arm, as seen in passages describing physical actions or attributes. However, its more profound usage is metaphorical, where it symbolizes strength, power, or authority. This metaphorical usage is often attributed to God, illustrating His mighty power and intervention in the affairs of humanity. For instance, in Exodus 6:6, God declares, "I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with mighty acts of judgment." Here, the "outstretched arm" signifies God's powerful deliverance of the Israelites from Egypt. Similarly, in Isaiah 53:1, the prophet asks, "To whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?" indicating the revelation of God's power and salvation. The term is also used to describe human strength, as in Job 22:8, where it refers to the "man of strength." Thus, "ezroaʿ" serves as a versatile term that conveys both physical and divine strength throughout the biblical narrative.
