Berean Strong's Lexicon az: Strong, mighty, fierce Original Word: עַז Word Origin: Derived from the root עָזַז (azaz), meaning "to be strong" or "to prevail." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2478 (ischyros): Strong, mighty - G2900 (krataios): Strong, powerful Usage: The Hebrew word "az" is used to describe strength, might, or fierceness. It often conveys the idea of physical strength or power, but it can also refer to a strong or fierce disposition. In the context of the Bible, it is used to describe both people and animals, as well as metaphorically to describe nations or armies. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, strength and might were highly valued traits, often associated with leadership and heroism. The concept of strength was not only physical but also moral and spiritual. In the Hebrew Bible, strength is often attributed to God, who is described as the ultimate source of power and might. The Israelites valued strength in their leaders and warriors, seeing it as a sign of divine favor and protection.
