βραχίων

Strong’s: G1023

Associated OET lemmas: βραχίων · βραχύ

Notes: It is possible that χείρ[c], βραχίων[a], and δάκτυλος[b] in the figurative sense of power of an individual differ somewhat in meaning one from the other, but it is impossible to determine this on the basis of existing contexts.

Form 1

Part of speech: noun, m.

Inflections: βραχίων; -ονος

Related lemmas: βραχύς

Semantic entry: 76.3

Definition: (a figurative extension of meaning of βραχίων ‘arm,’ not occurring in the NT) power as an expression of the activity of a person or supernatural being{N:001}
