In-Him-Is-Strength
| Root | עזז (ʿ-z-z) |
| Core Meanings | strength, might, power, firmness |
| Semantic Range | Personal name meaning "in him is strength"; name of a Judahite landowner in Ruth; name of a temple pillar symbolizing strength or stability. |
| Conceptual Significance | Boaz, as an ancestor of King David and thus in the Messianic line, embodies covenantal strength expressed through covenant faithfulness and redemption (Ruth 4). The temple pillar named Boaz likely symbolized Yahweh’s sustaining strength for the Davidic kingdom and the stability of His dwelling among Israel. |
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun, masculine singular (HNp). Used as the personal name of a man (ancestor of David) and as the name of one of the two bronze pillars at the temple entrance. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name בֹּעַז (Bôʿaz) is traditionally understood as deriving from the root עזז (ʿ-z-z), "strength" or "might," likely in a compound form meaning "in him is strength." As a proper masculine singular noun (HNp), the rendering preserves its function as a male personal name while transparently reflecting the root idea of strength embedded in the name. |
