in the stronghold of
| Root | עזז (ʿ-z-z) |
| Core Meanings | strength, might, firmness, boldness, prevailing power |
| Semantic Range | fortress, stronghold, fortified place, refuge, source of strength, protection, defensive power |
| Conceptual Significance | מָעוֹז often denotes not merely a physical fortress but a source of security and strength, frequently used of YHWH as the stronghold of His people. It expresses the idea of concentrated, reliable might in which one finds protection and stability. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun common masculine singular construct (Ncmsc) with prefixed preposition בְּ ("in"). The construct state requires a following genitive to complete the sense ("stronghold of …"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מָעוֹז derives from the root עזז, conveying strength or might, and refers to a place characterized by strength—a stronghold or fortress. The form is masculine singular construct with the prefixed preposition בְּ ("in"), so "in the stronghold of" preserves both the root sense of strength and the construct relationship indicated by the morphology. |
