his firm strength
| Root | כח (k-ḥ) |
| Core Meanings | firmness, strength, vigor, capacity, force |
| Semantic Range | physical strength, military power, personal vigor, capacity or ability, material resources, wealth, productive power |
| Conceptual Significance | כֹּחַ expresses not merely raw power but the underlying firmness or capacity that enables action. In biblical theology it can describe human ability, royal or military might, material substance, or the divinely granted strength by which individuals and nations act. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in construct form (כֹּחַ) with 3ms pronominal suffix (־וֹ), yielding כֹּחוֹ, "his strength." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun כֹּחַ derives from a root conveying firmness and solidity, which underlies the idea of strength or power. The form is masculine singular in construct with a third masculine singular pronominal suffix, hence "his firm strength," preserving both the root sense of firmness and the 3ms possession. |
