Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2479 (ischus) - strength, might - G1411 (dunamis) - power, ability Usage: The Hebrew word "otsem" is used to denote physical strength, might, or power. It often refers to the inherent strength or vigor of a person or group, emphasizing the capacity to perform or endure. In a broader sense, it can also imply the strength of character or moral fortitude. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew 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 spiritual, as reliance on God's strength was a recurring theme in the Hebrew Scriptures.
