SIBI-P1 H5798-01
against Uzzah ("Strength")
| Root | עזז (ʿ-z-z) |
| Core Meanings | strength, might, power, firmness, intensity |
| Semantic Range | As a proper name, it refers to several Israelites; etymologically linked to strength, might, or power. |
| Conceptual Significance | Names formed from עזז reflect the cultural value placed on strength and divine empowerment. In narrative contexts (e.g., the account of Uzzah and the Ark), the irony between the name "Strength" and human frailty before divine holiness may carry theological weight. |
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun, feminine singular (Np) with prefixed preposition בְּ ("in, at, against"). The name is a feminine formation from עֹז (strength), itself from the root עזז. |
| Rendering Rationale | The proper name עֻזָּא is the feminine form derived from the root עזז, conveying the idea of strength or might. The prefixed בְּ preposition is contextually rendered "against," and the feminine singular proper noun is preserved as a personal name while highlighting its root meaning. |
