Context: • General Overview: The Hebrew word עֹז (ʿōz) is a significant term in the Old Testament, frequently associated with divine strength and power. It is used to express the might and majesty of God, as well as the strength He provides to His people. The term is often found in poetic and prophetic literature, emphasizing God's sovereignty and the security found in His power. • Biblical References: • Exodus 15:2: "The LORD is my strength and my song, and He has become my salvation." • Psalm 28:7: "The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped." • Psalm 29:11: "The LORD gives strength to His people; the LORD blesses His people with peace." • Isaiah 12:2: "Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid.
