SIBI-P1 H1369-04
prevailing strength
| Root | גבר (g-b-r) |
| Core Meanings | strength, might, prevailing power, superiority, mastery |
| Semantic Range | strength, might, valor, heroic power, mastery, victorious force, mighty deeds |
| Conceptual Significance | גְּבוּרָה often denotes not merely raw power but demonstrated strength—especially in acts of deliverance, warfare, or divine intervention. It is frequently attributed to יהוה to describe His victorious and saving power, highlighting His supremacy and ability to prevail over opposition. |
| Morphological Notes | Feminine singular noun in the absolute state (HNcfsa), derived from the root גבר and related to גִּבּוֹר (mighty man, warrior). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun גְּבוּרָה derives from the root גבר, "to be strong" or "to prevail." Rendering it as "prevailing strength" preserves the dynamic sense of strength that overcomes or masters, inherent in the root. The form is feminine singular absolute (HNcfsa), so the rendering reflects a singular abstract quality. |
