Strong's Lexicon abbir: Mighty, Strong, Powerful Original Word: אַבִּיר Word Origin: Derived from the root אָבַר (abar), meaning "to be strong" or "to be mighty." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the concept of might and strength can be related to Greek words like "δυνατός" (dunatos - Strong's G1415) meaning "powerful" or "mighty." Usage: The Hebrew word "abbir" is used to describe strength and might, often in the context of warriors, leaders, or even animals like bulls. It conveys a sense of power and majesty, frequently associated with divine or kingly attributes. In some contexts, it is used metaphorically to describe God's strength or the strength of His people. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, strength and might were highly valued attributes, often associated with leadership and divinity. The term "abbir" would have resonated with the Israelites as a descriptor of both human and divine power. Bulls, known for their strength, were common symbols of power and fertility in the region, which may explain the metaphorical use of "abbir" in describing them.
