a fortress or stronghold; a fortified place of refuge or military strength
This feminine noun denotes a fortress or stronghold. Isaiah 29:7 declares judgment on Ariel (Jerusalem): all nations fighting against 'her and her stronghold' will become like a dream that vanishes. Ezekiel 19:9 describes the captive lion-king (likely Jehoiachin): 'They brought him into strongholds'—fortified places, possibly meaning either imprisonment or exile to Babylonian fortifications. Both prophetic uses involve siege and capture, the stronghold representing either defensive strength or captive confinement. The same noun thus spans from refuge to prison, depending on who controls it.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — A fortress, stronghold, or fortified place. Isaiah uses it for Jerusalem's defensive works, which will prove illusory when God judges the city. Ezekiel's 'strongholds' are places of confinement for the captured king, transported in a cage 'into strongholds' so his voice is heard no more in Israel. The semantic range includes both defensive fortification and secure imprisonment. The Spanish translations ('fortalezas,' 'fortaleza') capture the fortified strength; context determines whether the stronghold protects or confines. 2×
