Gibbor

Hebrew Word: גִּבּוֹר (gibbor)

Pronunciation: gib-bor

Meaning:

The term gibbor means "mighty," "strong," "valiant," or "hero." It is often used to describe a warrior, hero, or someone of great strength and courage, particularly in a military context.

In Isaiah 42:13, gibbor is used metaphorically to depict the LORD as a powerful warrior going forth to battle, emphasizing His strength and dominance over His enemies.

Translation in KJV: The phrase "as a mighty man" translates ka-gibbor, where ka- means "like" or "as," and gibbor is rendered "mighty man." Some translations (e.g., NIV, ESV) may use "warrior" or "hero" instead of "mighty one/man."

NIV: "The LORD will march out like a champion (gibbor)."

ESV: "The LORD goes out like a mighty man (gibbor)."

Note: The KJV uses "mighty man," but "mighty one" could be a valid alternative rendering, as gibbor does not always imply a human "man" but rather a figure of might or valor.
