Dear Philip,

I, for one, didn't really understand the question. Could you try to clarify?


In any case, please remember to sign all posts with your full name.

Isaac Fried wrote: No Hebrew root can mean 'might' or 'strength', but 'up,
on' is good. --------------------------------------------------------------
THE COUNTER ARGUMENT Besides `zz there are additional Hebrew words for
strong, strength, might etc. for example: (6099) `atsuwm; passive participle
of '`atsam' (BTW initial letter is `ayn) (6105); powerful (specifically, a
paw); by implication, numerous:--+ great, mighty, must, strong. (6106)
`etsem from '`atsam' (6105); a bone (as strong); by extension, the body;
figuratively, the substance, i.e. (as pron.) selfsame:--body, bone, X life,
(self-)same, strength, X very. See BDB p.782 # 6099
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here, the meaning of 'STRONG' is found in the following verses : Jos 23:9,
Prov 7:26, Isa 8:7, Isa 53:12, Isa 60:22, Joel 1:6, Joel 2:2, Joel 2:5, Joel
2:11, Micah 4:3, Micah 4:7, Zech 8:22 EXAMPLES: Jos 23:9 For the LORD hath
driven out from before you great nations a nd STRONG: but [as for] you, no
man hath been able to stand1 before you unto this day. Prov 7:26 For she
hath cast down many wounded: yea, many STRONG [men] have been slain by her.
Isa 8:7 Now therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth up upon them the waters of
the river, STRONG and many, [even] the king of Assyria, and all his glory:
and he shall come up1 over all his channels, and go over1 all his banks: Isa
60:22 A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a STRONG nation:
the LORD will hasten it in his time. Joel 1:6 For a nation is come up upon
my land, STRONG and without number, whose teeth [are] the teeth of a lion,
and he hath the cheek teeth of a great lion. A day of darkness and of
gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread
upon themountains: a great people and a STRONG; there hath not been ever the
like, neither shall be any more after it, [even] to the years of many
generations. Joel 2:5 Like the noise of chariots on the tops of
mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire thatdevoureth
the stubble, as a STRONG people set in battle array. Joel 2:2 And the LORD
shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp [is] very great: for [he
is] STRONG that executeth his word: for the day of the LORD [is] great and
very terrible; and who can abide55 it? Micah 4:3, And he shall judge among
many people, and rebuke STRONG nations afar off; and they shall beat their
swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall
not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
Micah 4:7, And I will make1 her that halted a remnant, and her that was cast
far off a STRONG nation: and the LORD shallreign1 over them in mount Zion
from henceforth, even for ever. Zech 8:22 Yea, many people and STRONG
nations shall come1 to seek5 the LORD of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray
before the LORD. More examples:-) mightier Exo 1:9, Num 14:12, Deu 4:38, Deu
