SIBI-P1 H2428-01
with strength
| Root | חיל (ḥ-y-l) |
| Core Meanings | strength, force, capacity, might, army, wealth |
| Semantic Range | strength, might, efficiency, valor, wealth, resources, military force, army |
| Conceptual Significance | חַיִל expresses the idea of manifested strength—whether physical power, military capability, material wealth, or moral valor. In biblical theology, true חַיִל ultimately derives from יהוה, emphasizing that human power or armies are subordinate to divine strength. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ ("with/by/in") prefixed to a masculine singular absolute noun חַיִל. Occurs in both Hebrew and Imperial Aramaic contexts. No article; number and gender are singular masculine. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun חַיִל (masculine singular absolute) denotes strength or force, often extending to a military force or army. The prefixed preposition בְּ means "with" or "by," so "with strength" preserves the core root sense of כוח and force while accurately reflecting the singular masculine form. |
