Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts of strength and might is "ἰσχύς" (ischys - Strong's Greek 2479), which also denotes strength, power, or might.

Usage: The Hebrew verb "chasan" conveys the idea of strength, might, or firmness. It is often used in contexts where physical or moral strength is emphasized. The term can imply a sense of security or protection, often associated with God's strength or the strength of a fortified city.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, strength and might were highly valued attributes, often associated with leadership and divine favor. The concept of strength was not only physical but also moral and spiritual. The Israelites viewed God as their ultimate source of strength and protection, a theme that is prevalent throughout the Old Testament. Fortified cities and strongholds were common in ancient Near Eastern societies, serving as symbols of security and power.
