SIBI-P1 H1400-02

a strong-man

Rootגבר (g-b-r)
Core Meaningsstrength, might, superiority, prevailing power
Semantic Rangeman, strong man, mighty man, warrior, husband, notable male person
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical usage, גְּבַר highlights human strength or prominence, often in contrast to divine sovereignty. It can underscore human might, social standing, or warrior identity within Israelite and Aramaic contexts.
Morphological NotesAramaic noun, common masculine singular absolute (HNcmsa/ANcmsa). No article or pronominal suffix; refers to one male individual characterized by strength.
Rendering RationaleThe Aramaic noun גְּבַר derives from the root גבר, conveying strength or prevailing might. Rendering it as "a strong-man" preserves both the masculine singular absolute form (HNcmsa) and the root’s emphasis on strength rather than using the more generic "man."
