strong-man
| Root | גבר (g-b-r) |
| Core Meanings | strength, might, prevailing, overcoming, becoming strong |
| Semantic Range | valiant man, warrior, strong man, adult male, husband, individual person (with emphasis on strength or capability) |
| Conceptual Significance | גֶּבֶר highlights man as strong or mighty, often emphasizing vigor, capacity, or martial strength. It can underscore human potency in contrast with weakness, yet in poetic and wisdom contexts it may also stress the frailty of even the "strong-man" before יהוה. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular common noun in the absolute state; from the verbal root גבר (to be strong, to prevail). No pronominal suffix or construct relationship in this form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun גֶּבֶר derives from the root גבר, "to be strong" or "to prevail." Rendering it as "strong-man" preserves the root idea of strength and vigor while accurately reflecting the masculine singular absolute form shown in the morphology (HNcmsa). |
