| Core Meanings | strength, might, fierceness, intensity, boldness |
| Semantic Range | strong, mighty, fierce, bold, intense, harsh, powerful |
| Conceptual Significance | The root עזז expresses concentrated strength or intensity, whether physical, emotional, or moral. In biblical theology it can describe human might, the fierce character of enemies, or the powerful acts of יהוה, highlighting the theme of strength as both a divine attribute and a human quality that must be rightly aligned. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular absolute form functioning adjectivally or substantivally; from the root עזז. No pronominal suffix; singular and masculine in agreement with its referent. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form עַז (HNcmsa) is a masculine singular absolute noun/adjectival substantive derived from the root עזז, conveying strength or fierceness. Rendering it as "a strong one" preserves the core sense of might or intensity while reflecting the masculine singular form in English. |
