What it means
A plain-English reading of the word, with the lexicons it draws on — Abbott-Smith, Strong's, and Liddell-Scott-Jones — right below it, in full.
AI Summary
To be strong, to rule, to be master, to prevail – the underlying idea is strength that gives someone power or control over others, so that they rule, hold sway, or gain the upper hand 3. In the Greek Old Testament this sense of ruling or prevailing occurs 1.
More commonly, the word means to get hold of, seize, or grasp, and by extension to hold fast, keep, or retain. It is used for physically taking hold of something or someone, such as taking a person by the hand, and for seizing or arresting someone 1234. It also covers holding something firmly in a figurative sense — holding fast to a tradition, teaching, hope, or confession, holding the head (of Christ), restraining something, or retaining rather than releasing something (as with sins) 123.
