Usage: The verb עָזַז (ʿāzaz) is used in the Hebrew Bible to convey the idea of being strong, firm, or bold. It often describes physical strength or courage, and can also imply a sense of being hardened or resolute. Context: • The root עָזַז (ʿāzaz) appears in various forms throughout the Old Testament, often in contexts that emphasize strength or boldness. It is used to describe both physical and moral fortitude. • In some instances, it is used to describe the strength of warriors or the fortification of cities. For example, in 2 Samuel 10:12, Joab encourages his troops to "be strong" (ʿāzaz) in battle. • The term can also be used metaphorically to describe a hardened heart or a resolute spirit. In Ezekiel 3:8-9, God tells the prophet that He has made his face as hard as flint, using the root עָזַז to convey the idea of being unyielding in the face of opposition. • The word is not limited to physical strength but extends to mental and emotional resilience, often in the context of faith and trust in God. In Psalm 89:13, the psalmist declares, "You have a mighty arm; strong is Your hand, and high is Your right hand," using the concept of strength to praise God's power and sovereignty.
