SIBI-P1 H1368-03
mighty man
| Root | גבר (g-b-r) |
| Core Meanings | strength, might, prevailing power, superiority, mastery |
| Semantic Range | mighty man, warrior, valiant man, champion, hero, strong leader, powerful ruler, tyrant (in negative contexts) |
| Conceptual Significance | גִּבּוֹר denotes more than physical strength; it represents social and military power, heroic status, and sometimes oppressive dominance. It can describe elite warriors, renowned champions, or even YHWH as the supreme mighty warrior, highlighting strength as a defining trait of leadership and divine action in the biblical worldview. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun (often functioning adjectivally); appears in absolute (HAamsa) and construct (HAamsc) forms. Derived as an intensive form related to גֶּבֶר (man), emphasizing strength or prowess. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun גִּבּוֹר derives from the root גבר, conveying strength and prevailing power. The morphology indicates a masculine singular form (absolute or construct), so "mighty man" preserves both the masculine gender and singular number while reflecting the root idea of embodied strength and dominance. |
