The first occurrence.
And build an altar unto YHVH your God upon the top of this stronghold, in the ordered place, and take the second bullock, and offer a burnt sacrifice with the wood of the grove which you shall cut down. Jud 6:26
(In the pictured Scripture: The joy of the LORD is your strength. Neh 8:10)
The primitive root.
Strong’s H4581 ma’owz, a concrete noun meaning, “a fortified place;” from Strong’s H5810 עזז azaz, a primitive root meaning, “to strengthen.” The 3-letter root is ayin + zayin + zayin.
ayin ע = the eye, thus watch, know, shade
zayin ז = the mattock, thus tool, food, cut, nourish
zayin ז = the mattock, thus tool, food, cut, nourish
The story: Watching over (ayin) while wielding one tool or weapon (zayin) after another (zayin), i.e., employing all necessary tools in defense.
