DefinitionShort: a strong military fortification
Glosses: ['stronghold', 'fortress']
Comments: The term ὀχύρωμα occurs in the NT only in {S:04701000400030}, where it is used figuratively of the strength of false arguments. In a number of languages it may be more satisfactory to render ὀχύρωμα as a kind of simile so as to mark this figurative usage, for example, ‘powerful weapons with which to destroy false arguments in the same way that people would destroy fortresses.’ In some languages a ‘fortress’ may be described in terms of its function, for example, ‘a place for protection’ or ‘a place to defend oneself.’ Often, however, a fortress is described in terms of its construction, for example, ‘a strong-walled place.’
