Senses
1. mighty, strong, courageous — Adjective meaning mighty, strong, or courageous, describing both physical strength and resolute character. Used of Absalom's conspiracy growing 'strong' (2 Sam 15:12), of God being 'mighty in strength' and 'wise in heart' (Job 9:4; cf. Isa 40:26), and in Isaiah's description of God as 'strong in power' (Isa 28:2; 40:26). Also describes the 'courageous among the mighty' (Amos 2:16). The word conveys formidable strength whether applied to persons, divine power, or figurative force. Multilingual glosses reflect the semantic range: arb عَزيز/شَديد/قَويّة ('mighty/severe/strong'), hin शक्तिशाली/बलवान/साहसी ('powerful/strong/courageous'), deu stark ('strong'). All five auto-clusters represent the same adjective in different conjunctive and construct contexts. 6×
