SIBI-P1 H3581-30

by his strength

Rootכח (k-ḥ)
Core Meaningsstrength, firmness, vigor, capacity, force, ability
Semantic Rangephysical strength, military might, personal ability, generative power, material resources, wealth, capacity or competence
Conceptual Significanceכֹּחַ often denotes both physical and political might, but can also refer to divinely granted ability or human capacity. In biblical theology, true strength ultimately derives from YHWH, and human "strength" is frequently portrayed as limited or dependent upon Him.
Morphological NotesPreposition בְּ ("in/by") + masculine singular noun כֹּחַ in construct form + 3ms suffix וֹ ("his").
Rendering RationaleThe noun כֹּחַ (strength, vigor, capacity) is masculine singular in construct form with a 3rd person masculine singular suffix ("his"), preceded by the preposition בְּ ("in/by"). "By his strength" preserves the root sense of firm, active force and accurately reflects the masculine singular noun with its 3ms pronominal suffix.
