Best Answer
FortressThe Greek word for stronghold, taken literally, means a fortress. It is used in The Bible also as a metaphor to represent things that are based only on human confidence or pride, as opposed to those that rely on God's input and guidance.

Strongholds are walls or fortresses around beliefs and emotions to protect us from further pain. An important part of healing and transforming the deep wounds, requires divinely pulling down the strongholds.

The word stronghold appears in English translations of the Bible, but it's obviously not in the original Hebrew text.

The word in the Hebrew Bible for stronghold is "Matzada" (מצדה), as in Judges 6:2.

What is the Hebrew word for fortress?

The Hebrew word for fortress is mivtsar (מבצר) and it comes from the Hebrew root bitser (ב.צ.ר.) which means "to fortify". I'm not sure why you are asking for its meaning: mivtsar means "fortress" in Hebrew, but you already know that. Another Hebrew word for fortress is metzudah (מצודה). The origin of both these Hebrew words is the Hebrew Bible (2 Samuel 5:7, and Numbers 32:36, respectively). Perhaps you are thinking of the particular fortress near the Dead Sea called Masada. In addition to being a physical fortress, the idea of Masada connotes the heroism and martyrdom of those Jews who resisted the Roman Occupation there.
