iz.zuz describes a mighty figure in battle and among an army brought out with chariot and horse.

The two occurrences describe a mighty person or force: in Psalm 24:8 the term stands in a battle declaration about the LORD, while in Isaiah 43:17 it occurs with chariot, horse, and army brought out together.

Senses in use

  1. Mighty in a battle setting · dominant

    Both occurrences use the masculine singular absolute form in martial contexts. In Psalm 24:8 the APB renders the clause "the LORD, mighty in battle"; in Isaiah 43:17 it describes one brought out alongside chariot, horse, and army before they lie down and do not rise.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB explicitly includes "mighty" in Psalm 24:8 and "mighty one" in Isaiah 43:17. These phrases show the verses' presentation rather than a fixed one-to-one rendering.
