strength, vigor, rest (uncertain meaning)
This extremely difficult word appears in Moses' blessing of Asher, in the phrase 'as your days, so your strength.' However, the meaning is so uncertain that ancient versions translated it variously as 'strength', 'rest', or other concepts. The Hebrew may not even preserve the original word—some suggest textual corruption. Despite the obscurity, the blessing's general sense is clear: Asher's provision or capacity will match the length of their days, whether that's strength for work or rest for recovery.

1. sense 1 — Deuteronomy 33:25 blesses Asher with something matched to their days—but what that something is remains uncertain. The Septuagint, Syriac, and Targum all chose 'strength,' suggesting capacity or vigor proportionate to lifespan. Others propose 'rest' from an Arabic cognate. The multilingual consistency around 'strength' reflects most translators following the ancient versions' guess rather than confident etymology. The blessing's point survives the lexical uncertainty: whatever Asher needs—strength, rest, resources—God will provide in measure with their days. 1×
