SIBI-P1 H2633-01
stored strength
| Root | חסן (ḥ-s-n) |
| Core Meanings | strength, firmness, resilience, stored wealth, accumulation |
| Semantic Range | wealth, riches, treasure, material resources, strength, security derived from accumulated goods |
| Conceptual Significance | חֹסֶן emphasizes that material wealth is viewed as a form of strength or security in biblical thought. It can describe both literal riches and the stabilizing power they provide, while also inviting reflection on whether true strength lies in stored resources or in trust in יהוה. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun (absolute and construct forms attested). No pronominal suffix. Derived from the verbal root חסן. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun חֹסֶן derives from the root חסן, which conveys strength and the accumulation of resources that make one strong. Rendering it as "stored strength" preserves both the idea of wealth/treasure and the underlying concept of strength. The form is masculine singular (absolute or construct), which is reflected by the singular English noun. |
