Strong-One (feminine proper name)
| Root | עזז (ʿ-z-z) |
| Core Meanings | strength, might, power, firmness, boldness |
| Semantic Range | As a proper name, it denotes a person whose name embodies the idea of strength or might; the underlying root can convey physical strength, power, boldness, or intensity. |
| Conceptual Significance | Personal names built on the concept of strength reflect the high cultural value placed on might and firmness. In narrative contexts (notably the man struck when touching the ark), the irony of a "Strong-One" overcome by divine holiness heightens the theological emphasis on YHWH’s supreme power. |
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun, feminine singular; formed as a feminine derivative of עֹז ("strength"). Functions as a personal name. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name derives from the root עזז, meaning "to be strong" or "to be mighty." The form עֻזָּא is a feminine singular proper noun (HNp), so the rendering "Strong-One" preserves the root sense of strength while indicating its feminine grammatical form as a personal name. |
