Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence between Hebrew and Greek terms, concepts of power and strength in the Greek New Testament can be found in words like δύναμις (dynamis • Strong's Greek 1411), which denotes power or ability, and ἰσχύς (ischys • Strong's Greek 2479), which refers to strength or might. These Greek terms capture similar themes of power and strength as עֹצֶם does in the Hebrew Bible.

Usage: The term עֹצֶם is used in the Hebrew Bible to convey the concept of strength or power, often in a physical or metaphorical sense. It can also refer to the physical body, highlighting its strength or robustness.

Context: • The Hebrew word עֹצֶם appears in contexts that emphasize strength, power, or might. It is often used to describe the physical strength of a person or the might of a nation. In some instances, it can refer to the body, particularly in terms of its strength or physicality.
• For example, in the context of describing the might of a nation or the strength of an individual, עֹצֶם underscores the inherent power or capability present.
• The term is also used metaphorically to describe the strength of character or resolve, indicating an inner fortitude or determination.
• In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is translated in ways that reflect these nuances, capturing both the physical and metaphorical aspects of strength and power.
