Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root אָמַץ (amats), which means "to be strong" or "to be courageous."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew word אָמֹץ (amots) in the Strong's Concordance. However, Greek words that convey similar meanings of strength or intensity in color might include terms like ἰσχυρός (ischyros • Strong, Mighty) or ζωηρός (zoeros • Vivid, Lively), though these are not direct translations of the concept of a strong color like red. Usage: The word אָמֹץ is used in the context of describing something with a strong, vivid color, particularly red. It is not frequently used in the Hebrew Bible but carries the connotation of strength and intensity when it appears. Context: The Hebrew word אָמֹץ (amots) is a term that conveys the idea of strength and intensity, particularly in the context of color. In the ancient Hebrew language, colors were often described in terms of their strength or vividness, and אָמֹץ is used to denote a strong, vibrant red. This usage reflects the broader semantic range of the root אָמַץ, which encompasses notions of strength, courage, and fortitude. The vividness of the color red in biblical times could symbolize various attributes such as vitality, power, and even danger. While the specific occurrences of אָמֹץ in the Hebrew Bible are limited, its connection to the root meaning of strength provides insight into the cultural and linguistic understanding of color in the biblical narrative.
