SIBI-P1 H3581-17
their firmness-strength
| Root | כח (k-ḥ) |
| Core Meanings | firmness, strength, force, capacity, vigor |
| Semantic Range | physical strength, military force, personal ability, capacity, resources, wealth, productive power |
| Conceptual Significance | כֹּחַ often denotes both physical might and the inner or divinely granted capacity to act. In biblical theology, strength ultimately derives from YHWH, and human "firmness-strength" is portrayed as dependent upon or granted by Him. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun in construct form (כֹּחַ) with 3rd masculine plural pronominal suffix (־ם), yielding "their strength." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun כֹּחַ derives from a root conveying firmness or being strong. The form is masculine singular in construct with a 3rd masculine plural suffix ("-ם"), meaning "their." Rendering it as "their firmness-strength" preserves the core idea of strength as rooted in firmness while accurately reflecting the singular noun possessed by "them." |
